A survey of teachers commissioned by Ambition Institute has found that the Early Career Framework and professional development has the least impact on high workload compared to other tasks.
In a recent YouGov poll, the majority of teachers did not cite professional development as a major cause of high workload. It ranked last on a list of thirteen contributing factors, with meetings and administration, lesson planning, and marking named as the biggest drivers of teachers working long hours.
The nationally representative survey demonstrates the value that teachers place on professional development. More than 1,000 primary and secondary teachers in the UK shared which tasks they wish to spend less time on to balance workload and positive outcomes for pupils.
