 Conduct a Time-Audit: For a period of three to five days, note how much time you spend on certain tasks. This
will make it easier for you to comprehend how much time you have and how it is divided. Following the
observation time, evaluate your work by considering the following inquiries: In reality, where is your time
going? Which task is requiring the most time? Do you want to dedicate your time to those pursuits?

Map out your Schedule: Make a schedule for the next week using Google Calendar or your paper planner. You
can use this to help you schedule your time and see how your week will go.

TIME SAVING
INSTRUCTIONAL Include Time-saving Techniques: To maximize the time you spend in the classroom, consider techniques like
creating effective routines, assigning students to groups based on their interests, or timing tasks.

STRATEGIES
Use Technology: Utilize technology to automate processes like as lesson planning, attendance tracking, and
grading. You'll be able to focus on more crucial things and save time by doing this.

Create Mini Lessons: Divide up your lessons into simple, smaller sections. You'll be able to cover more ground
in less time and maintain student interest by doing this.
Incorporating State
and District Standards:
Teachers explore techniques such as
backward design, where learning objectives
are derived from academic standards,
ensuring that instructional materials are
purposefully aligned. Techniques include
utilizing state-provided exemplars and
frameworks to guide the creation of content-
based materials while maintaining
engagement and quality.
