Use it to:

  • Get a clear idea of your teachers' workloads
  • Identify areas that are taking up too much time
  • Get staff feedback on more efficient ways to work

It contains:

  • A table to record how long teachers spend on different type of tasks
  • A short survey to collect feedback

Emphasise that the audit isn't designed to monitor teachers' work

Instead, it's there to help you find out what's putting pressure on them.

This will encourage your staff to fill it out accurately, and make sure they don't view it as another burden on their time.
