In this learning module, you have had the opportunity to role at teacher loads. Clearly, from an institutional standpoint, the establishment of teaching loads can have a number of both fiscal and academic impacts. Institutions can save a great deal of money by creating extraordinarily heavy and diverse teaching loads for the instructors. This certainly can have an impact on student performance. While saving are essential to pursue, a careful balance has to be established. Reflect on this challenge in this discussion and be specific about what you have learned about teaching loads in this learning module and how the execution of the establishment of teaching loads can have an impact on the overall performance of the organization.
