[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like to have a common general sense of things we all need to accomplish (skills and content that we all expect to be covered), but I prefer to pace and develop lessons as I see fit, according to the needs of the class.[/quote]

FCPS teacher. I appreciate our Pacing Guide and resource repository, but I appreciate even more having flexibility to use resources as I see fit.[/quote]

Do you feel you are given enough time to create your own lessons?[/quote]

During contract hours?  Definitely not.  There's just too much else going on during the day -- meetings, catching up on emails from colleagues and parents, grading, handling student issues -- for meaningful planning for four different classes to happen.  When not planning with my collaborative team during designated time in school, I typically plan in the evenings and on the weekends.  I also work on curriculum projects -- both County-sponsored and for my own classes -- for most of the summer.  Planning at the pool sure beats planning inside![/quote]
