# The teacher week

URL: https://gocutline.com/templates/teacher-week/

A weekly schedule for teachers: teaching from 08:00, an hour of lesson prep after school every weekday, marking kept to one Saturday morning, training three times a week and evenings free from 19:00.

## Why it works
- **Prep straight after the last class** keeps it at school, so evenings stay yours.
- **Marking gets one fixed slot.** Open-ended marking fills every free hour otherwise.
- **Training at 17:00** is a clean break between school and home.

## Make it yours
- Do your own marking on Sunday if Saturdays are for family.
- Exam season: add a second marking block, and take it back out afterwards.

## Questions

**How many hours should a teacher plan outside class?**
Plan a fixed number, and let the work fit it. Prep expands to the time you give it.
