[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or perhaps the teacher cannot get all of the grading done during contracted school hours and their normal amount of extra time in the evenings and weekends. [/quote]
Lol. Let me guess you’re a teacher?[/quote]

Not that poster, but anyone with a pulse knows that MCPS can’t supply enough subs this year and teachers are forced to spend their planning periods “covering” absent teachers’ classes. Maybe you can sign up to sub?[/quote]

NP here. I’m not a teacher, but honest question…do teachers need to plan lessons every year?, I was under the impression that once a teacher plans a lesson (at the start of their career) it’s pretty much a repeat lesson every year, so there’s really not much planning involved during the subsequent years. Im asking a genuine question, please no snarky comments![/quote]

You asked a good question. Perhaps there are some teachers who have a more canned curriculum, but many of us have to revise or create units each year.

I’m a high school teacher. I revise and improve my lessons each year. What worked last year may not work with this year’s students. It’s always a different mix, and I have to take into account how my new students learn.

I average 7-8 hours a week of planning. I spend approximately 15 grading. I get 3.5 hours / week  to get this done at work, and that’s assuming my planning isn’t taken away from me. [/quote]
