Morphology

nonteaching = teaching (transparent) = non + teach + ing

The sense 'nonteaching' as work or duties is directly 'not teaching' (non- + teaching used as noun), so the relation is straightforward.

Etymology

Nonteaching is formed from non- 'not' and teach 'to give lessons', so nonteaching duties are the tasks in a school that 'do not involve teaching', such as organizing events or managing records.
