Ive been teaching for a few years and in this short span Ive noticed the amount of non-teaching duties has gone up considerably.
My advice to a young teacher is to focus on personal time management. Put class management, lesson planning etc on the backburner. That will come with experience and reflection.
A teacher has to learn to say "No- I won't do that". I made the mistake of going in and trying to do everything. Almost burnt me out. It's quite possible fr a teacher to come home everyday and work till midnight every night. That's not good. You've got to find ways of reducing the workload while not detracting from the quality of your teaching.
Schools provide PD on everything, but not this issue. It's something a young teacher has to figure out for themselves.
It just depends on the school you at I guess. If you have supportive colleges, they will help you. They will share their personal experiences, planning and some ( if you are lucky) resources.
The thing I've learn; switch off as you drive home. Don't take it home with you and you won't relive the negative experiences each day.
Switch off and start again the next day. Have a positive and fresh attitude every day.
