The school-reform movement has not as yet helped to relieve teachers of their nonteaching duties. One result of shared decision making is that some principals have replaced student-supervisory duties with that of committee work. These duties can take as much time as many of the traditional nonteaching duties. One way to improve teacher morale and create a positive school climate is to eliminate unnecessary teaching duties. This document offers suggestions for planning and creating a "duty-free" school, in which teacher supervisory duties are eliminated or greatly reduced. First, a schoolwide study group can be formed to examine school needs and elicit feedback. Tips for reducing student supervisory responsibilities are offered, some of which include combining classroom periods, using walkie-talkies to monitor trouble spots, utilizing existing aides or volunteers, offering scheduling options for teachers, limiting student free times and closing specified areas, and reducing hall traffic.
