Ever thought about how working from home could change teaching? Here’s why it might be the key to better teacher wellbeing and retention.

We’re diving into a project that explores the idea of offsite PPA (Planning, Preparation and Assessment) time for teachers. The goal? To see if allowing teachers to work from home during their PPA can improve their job satisfaction and help address the teacher retention crisis.

This isn't just a theory. Initial research indicates potential positive impacts on teacher wellbeing. But we need to gather more evidence!

It’s crucial for schools to engage in this research. By understanding the benefits and challenges of offsite PPA, we can build evidence-based recommendations that promote a healthier work-life balance for teachers.

What if giving teachers more control over their time could lead to better planning and collaboration? Let’s find out!

Join us in exploring this exciting opportunity for change.
