Work pressures Sample Clauses

Work pressures. Teaching, according to the participants, is a demanding profession and not in vain. Educators are required to teach long hours, multi-task, juggle time, maintain relationships with different stakeholders, and complete an insurmountable load of paperwork often set with deadlines. The daily pressures obviously impact teachers’ attitudes to additional responsibilities, with one being collaboration. Most participants stated that high workload and a lack of time discourage them from collaborating. The following quoted words by Teacher 3 from School B explain the main hindering factors: ‘‘Workload, long working hours. Lack of time, especially during the exam time’’ (Xxxxxxxx, 21.9.2021). The above statement is echoed by Teacher 2 from School B: ‘‘Yes, the decreased teaching workload gives more time for planning collaborative activities‘’ (Xxxx, 18.9.2021). According to him, the school principal decreased his teaching workload to enable him to engage in internal and external collaborations. Having pressure to collaborate from school leaders is another factor that ‘puts off’ several teachers from participating in collaborations. Their response was that they saw no point in collaborating on certain projects; however, they were given no choice but collaborate because, if they did not, there would more likely be some sort of negative consequences, evidently unspoken of. Teacher 1 from School B said this: ‘‘Unnecessary paperwork, pressure from leadership, deadlines of all kinds’’ (Grace, 18.9.2021). It seems that the teacher finds it challenging to cope with the daily demands of her profession, and collaboration is unequivocally the last thing she desires to do, unless it is imposed by the principal. According to Teacher 1, she teaches 25 lessons a week to five different secondary classes in addition to writing lesson plans, marking homework and tests, devising tests and helping the low- achieving students. Hence, the heavy workload probably leaves Grace with limited time to collaborate with colleagues on projects.
