What Bell Path needs
- 01Set how many teaching sessions run each day.
- 02Set the start time of each session.
- 03Add your breaks, recording which session each one follows and how long it lasts.
- 04If some days differ, turn on "Different schedule on different days" and set those days individually.
Why this affects entitlements
In Victoria and Tasmania, planning time is not a published weekly figure. Both states cap face-to-face teaching hours instead, so a teacher’s entitlement is the teaching time in your week above that cap.
In New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory the entitlement is a fixed weekly figure, so your bell times affect how the release is delivered but not how much of it is owed.
