Work

This is why I don't blog during the week and why I put in my 2 weeks on Friday:

What the school expected:

21.5 hours with my students

8 hour on lesson plans

10 hours on making assessments and materials

2 hours on IEP paperwork

5 hours on emails and research

Grades: 5 hours

Total: 57 hours

$ per hour(not factoring in time.5)- $19

What actually happens:

30 hours with my students (because of behaviors and lack of staff)

4 hours on behavior reports

8 hours on lesson plans

10 hours on making assessments and materials

2 hours IEP work

5 hours on research and emails

2 hour on trainings/meetings

5 hours covering for absences/lack of staff

5 hours grades

Total: 71 hours

$ per hour(not factoring in time.5)- $15

Ideal:

21.5 hours with my students

10 hours lesson planning AND creating materials/assessments

3 hours on emails/research

2 hours on reports

1 hour iep work

2.5 hours on grades

Total: 40 hours

$ per hour(not factoring in time.5)- $27

I have a Master's degree and I'm human. I should either be making way more money or putting in less time. Is it any wonder I'm burnt out?
