This page contains data entry 86869 from the Axioma AXP content repository. The structured data below represents the complete record for this entry.

They say in the article *These hours include lesson planning, grading, professional development, and participating in student activities, which effectively lowers their real hourly wage even further, making the financial struggles for educators more severe than initially apparent.*

2100 hours per year implies a 40 hour work week, for a full calendar year, with no corrections for vacation. You’re right it’s unclear exactly how they calculate the number, but if you can do a back-of-the-envelope quick estimation to prove where it might be coming from:

Estimate of a teacher’s contract hours = 40 weeks * 40 hours per week = 1600 hours

This leaves another 500 hours in work outside of contract hours, according to the article. That’s an extra 500 hours / 40 weeks = 12.5 hours per week taking into account only the 10 month contract period. Less than an extra 2 hours per day during the 10 month period of actually working. That’s reasonable. My wife is a teacher and she spends at least that amount working outside of her contract hours, between staying after school to help students and working on Sundays to prepare her lessons for the week and/or grade assessments. It’s especially easy to spend that time as a new teacher with new lessons to plan.

It may even be conservative when you consider the work a teacher might have to do during the summer to prepare for a new class or a new curriculum.
