[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If my 1st block is planning, my principal will let me attend my kids’ PTA morning meeting, my kids’ poetry reading, etc.

It’s not everyday, but it’s flexibke. I’m super organized, and I make tweaks as needed, but my semester is posted with assignments, due dates, materials covered each week. I prepare in August for the year, so I almost never stay late. And my coworkers almost never do, either. [/quote]

How do you prepare in august for the year?  I've been doing this for 10 years, and never taught the same units exactly the same way year over year.  The kids are different.  The teachers in the prior grade are different and emphasized different things.  Every year they come with different math gaps and understandings, and I have to meet them where they are to bring them up.  Every year I get the opportunity to look at old materials and rethink how to make them better--and I do!

Don't get me wrong, year 5 was sooooooo much easier than year 1, because I was modifying lessons every day instead of starting from scratch, but I literally have never used exactly the same thing the next year.[/quote]
