RE: Getting Serious With A Planner
I'm hoping to plant more beans this year, I love them frozen for winter eating.
What I have to plan these days only requires a regular calendar, but I used to plan for hours for every 42 minutes math class I had to teach, at least the first time around. I can't imagine walking into a class without knowing exactly what I was going to say and do with them. I would even have done the homework I assigned to them, to be sure I had taught them everything they would need to know in order to do it.
But is is a very good looking planner!

Don't worry, I did have that panic before I had taught that unit before. But when you are teaching the same thing all the time, I could just ad lib. That planning is a killer isn't it?
Horrible. Took so much time! But my students, unlike other math teacher's students, were able to do well on their exams without my having to curve the scores. The teachers who didn't prep, didn't make their exams carefully, would have entire classes not able to score above 40% on any exams. I am quite proud of how my students did, and it was because I worked so hard on crafting my classes, their homework, and their tests. As hard as they were, those were some of my good old days.
