[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are "preps" in this context? Interested as a parent of a former MCPS student with SN. [/quote] If a teacher teaches Math 6 and Math 7, they have two preps, i.e. two courses they have to prepare to teach.[/quote] Thank you. Doesn't more preps make the job (and day?) more interesting? Like does one want to teacher Algebra I and Geometry (just 2 perps) every day all day over and over? [/quote] More preps make after the school day ends more difficult since I do all of my planning at home. If I only have to plan for Algebra I, all of my effort and energy and time goes into it. My lessons are generally better the next day because I had more time to put into planning them. If I teach Alg 1 and Geometry, I split my time and energy and focus, making my lessons the next day weaker. Even more prep means each different course gets even less of my focus and I just end up exhausted. [/quote]
