Post: 6 - 7 classes daily normal for art teachers?

Posted by Susanne on 8/15/07

    I have been scheduled to teach 6 to 7 elementary art
    classes a day, grades 1 to 5 (approx. 260-300 kids
    altogether), each week for the past three years at my
    current school. I am given no time in between classes at
    all for prep time and must stay after school for several
    hours prepping and cleaning a quite messy room for the
    following day. I must also mat each piece of art to go
    home, hang work for displays, and mentor a new teacher
    hired this year, in addition to the many faculty and
    committee meetings. I love teaching art, but have become
    exhausted and am probably experiencing burnout. I was
    wondering if this work load is normal. Any help? Advice?
