    As we have been discussing the use of the extra hour as per CPA, your post implies that not only are some teachers not willing to do extra curricular stuff
    This is my opinion, yes.

    I'm pretty sure I'm entitled to hold these opinions which haven't just popped into my head overnight. They are based on years of experience and first-hand observations.

    They are two separate things just in case there's confusion.

    Well of course you are, but I wouldn't agree to the same extent, it just seemed from your original post that both were the same thing.

    To be fair to the staff in my school most teachers have been willing to upskill, to different degrees but most have embraced new technology etc.

    How are the extra hours applied to those on part time pro rata contracts? If you have 11 hours pro rata are you expected to do half the extra hours?

    Several schools seem to be bringing in set weekly meetings or planning which everyone must attend - that would mean those on part time contracts (and therefore less pay) doing the same extra hours as those on full hours and pay.

    According the the ASTI website:
    Q. Is someone on a job-share expected to do the full 33 hours or just 16.5 hours?

    A. Part-time teachers are required to work the extra hours on a pro-rata basis. This means that a job-sharer on 11 hours would be required to work 16.5 hours. The prioritisation of these hours should be agreed between the principal and the teacher/s.
