Somewhat disagree
Would you like to provide feedback about these actions?

Not enough support and help for graduate teachers.

Strongly disagree
Would you like to provide feedback about these actions?
Teachers time is taken up on thankless admin tasks leaving less and less time to teach. Collaboration is hard due to time constraints and not having common (extra) DOTT time.
