Its me again! And I just want to clarify something. One of the very best things about teaching is the ability to be creative and resourceful to meet the needs of your students. I have always loved designing cool projects and fun lessons that are costumed fit to my classroom. And the sense of ownership that you take away, when the kids 'get' it- is one of the very best things about the job. So I am NOT advocating a teaching model where a teacher just shows up and spits out a canned lesson plan. As many PPs have said, a teacher is an expert- on her kids, and can tweak lessons to meet the needs of his/her kiddos. Not only is this an essential job function,  but its also a blast. (Yes, I love my job!)

What I am NOT ok with- and what I do not feel comfortable with is designing a curriculum. I am great at knowing my kids and the developmental mind of my students, but I am not a math, science, reading, history, and writing expert. Do I write great lessons for my kids, sure I try to. But its a huge drain on time, when that same time could be used- better to differentiate a lesson that was already drafted. [/quote]
