TEACHER SORTED FOR SECONDARY
Know what to tackle in your next non-contact period.
Year 10 marking. A pastoral follow-up. Emails arriving while you’re teaching. Then a faculty meeting adds three more jobs. Put them somewhere they won’t be forgotten.
Decide what matters most today, then find time for it in your non-contact periods. Teacher Sorted can suggest a useful job for that twenty-five-minute gap, while keeping the rest in your plan.
Keep the Week A/B teaching timetable alongside your plan, then finish knowing what needs doing when you return.

THE WORK AROUND TEACHING
Choose your priorities without forgetting the other jobs.
Some jobs need a long preparation period. Others can move forward in twenty minutes before the next lesson. Teacher Sorted helps you use the time in front of you without losing sight of the rest of the week.

If you’ve got a Week A and Week B timetable, your usual work-time pattern can reflect both. You can still change individual days when meetings or other jobs take the time.
BATCHES
Make progress on the marking, one session at a time.
Marking is one example. Use a batch for repeated units such as papers, books, calls or checks. Record how many there are, how many you’ve done and roughly how long each one takes.
Teacher Sorted keeps the remaining quantity and time visible. A short block can move part of the batch forward without pretending the whole thing fits.

FIT FINDER
Use the next twenty-five minutes well.
Twenty-five minutes may be enough to mark a few papers, send an email or prepare a resource.
It may not be the right time to start planning a new unit. Fit Finder can leave that for Thursday’s longer preparation period.
You can ignore the suggestion and choose something else. Teacher Sorted helps you decide; it doesn’t take the decision away.
THE LITTLE DETAILS THAT HELP
See the work across all your classes in one plan.
Keep marking batches, pastoral follow-ups and regular work together with the time you’ve set aside. When the day changes, the outstanding jobs remain visible.
Add it while it’s in your head.
Use Tell Teacher Sorted and type it as you would explain it to another teacher. It picks out the job, date and rough time, then lets you check what it understood.
In Teacher Sorted: Get it out of your head
Forward the email. Keep the job.
Forward a work email, or send a new message to your private Teacher Sorted address. The clearest action becomes work without you retyping it.

Find time for your priorities around teaching.
Use your planning time, frees and whatever before- or after-school time you choose. Teacher Sorted plans with that time, not an imaginary empty day.
In Teacher Sorted: Plan around the time you really have
Know when your important jobs are planned.
