About this event

  • Event lasts 45 minutes

NITE's free professional development series offers short, impactful sessions led by experienced educators to support the professional growth of teachers and school leaders.


Education is demanding; teachers and leaders often find themselves overwhelmed by competing priorities. This session will provide practical strategies to manage workload effectively while maintaining personal well-being.


We will examine how to identify tasks that can be streamlined, delegated, or removed, and discuss time management techniques to improve efficiency. Participants will reflect on their own working habits and develop a personalised approach to achieving a sustainable work-life balance. By fostering a culture of well-being, leaders can ensure they remain effective, motivated, and resilient.


It is suitable for:

Teachers - ECTs - recently qualified teachers - experienced teachers - middle leaders - senior leaders - headteachers
