This can vary from school to school and can reach up to 90% of a normal teacher’s timetable. If you decide to train through NELTA we recommend that you will start on 50% of a normal teacher timetable; This works out to be around 10 lessons a week at Beal High School ( this may be different at other schools). We are generous with this as we recognise that your training year is challenging and you need time to reflect, plan effectively and complete assignments or training. The idea is that as you go through the year you will take on more classes within your timetable. This is subject to availability and timetabling constraints and may more or less than this. Timetables are normally drafted in June and finalised in July. You should check with the Head of the Department in the school you are working at for more information.
