Are you ready?

Implementing the Remodelling the Workforce initiative and the National Workload Agreement is having profound effects on schools. In any institution, the burden of responsibility will tend to fall on certain key individuals. This valuable resource, now revised in light of the changes to the tasks, can provide real support and save countless hours of time for those involved.

Key issues covered

Delivered on CD-ROM, and simplicity itself to use, Managing the Workload Agreement (formerly The 24 Tasks) comes with a full site and copy licence and addresses core management, administrative, professional and pastoral concerns. It is readily networkable for ease of use.

Something for everyone

In addition to the guidance material and information, there are also over 50 forms, questionnaires, audits, presentations and other digital tools that can be modified to fit your particular circumstances. This will help you to save time, reduce paperwork, make staff development more effective and generally improve your school. It will also help you to make sure you are ready for Ofsted – either a full institutional inspection or a themed inspection on workforce remodelling.

Topics include:

• Performance management
• Working with teaching assistants
• Subject leaders and heads of department
• Working with governors
• Auditing teaching quality
• Ofsted
• Raising attainment
• Behaviour management.

The resource is presented via the following main sections:

• Workload Agreement – What does the National Workload Agreement mean, how can it be managed and how can the 22 tasks be tackled?
• Reducing Paperwork – Reducing paperwork and limiting the time spent on planning.
• Teaching Assistants – Using teaching assistants more effectively.
