Would you like to provide feedback about these actions?
As QLD teacher we are allocated 210 minutes of non-contact time, this has not changed in the many years that I have been a teacher. Our roles and responsibilities have increased and this not reflected in the time given to complete these duties. The needs of our community and our students have also increased and there is a shortage of teacher's time to adequately deal with the needs of our students.

Very effective
