Remodelling is designed to enhance the status and work/life balance of all who work in our schools. It enables teachers to focus more effectively on their teaching and provides every pupil with a chance to achieve greater success.
Remodelling provides schools with an opportunity to reassess the work and role of everyone involved in educating young people and it has the potential to significantly improve pupils' learning opportunities and standards of achievement.
Schools are under pressure to raise standards and tackle workload, while at the same time having to deal with a number of unavoidable issues:
- Workload is the major reason cited by teachers for leaving the profession.
- Over 30 percent of teacher's working week is spent on non-teaching activities
- Teachers generally have a poor work / life balance
- 45% or teachers are due to retire within the next 10 - 15 years
- There is a need for development of professional support staff
At the heart of the Remodelling Programme is a fundemental belief that deep-seated change can and does occur. It requires new attitudes and behaviours, new beliefs and values, and new skills and capabilities to be created and, importantly, sustained.
