Of course, new teachers, who tend to have higher teaching load of full-time teachers, and often to show that they have never taught before, probably spend more than 30 hours weeks. In some universities with more than one focus of instruction, it is estimated that new teachers may take 50 to 60 hours per week teaching. His advice can be summarized as "moderation in all things." When it comes to education, there are specific actions you can take. Some of the recommendations that I think are the easiest to implement.1. Do not try to fit too much in every class 2. You do not know everything3. Simplify and make things clear4. Allow breaks during class5.
