The lesson plan I spent hours on bombed HARD. Sometimes it feels like throwing spaghetti at a wall and seeing what sticks. Anyone else relate to that trial-and-error life?

Absolutely, I scaffold and make it accessible and it’s always at random if the student wants to buy in or not.
“Is the summative or formative?”
“Can i just work by myself?”
Ability levels of students are falling down. They get minimums and copy way too much. Their attention span is non existent. Learning environment has been corrupted.
Rarely I get a perfect class period.

If you aren't making mistakes, you aren't trying. This was a learning opportunity for teacher... Brush those noodles off and start again.

But on the days when it goes right, it is oh sooooo nice! Embrace those moments, and wipe off the not-so-good ones.

Well, that is the life of teaching. We team plan at my academy which is a huge blessing. I am working with 10 year old plans that are tried and true, so I get to dig deep to enhance and perfect them year after year.

I feel this... Sometimes the most wonderful lessons are the most organic, being able to flex with the students inquisitiveness is where I see the most magic!

Listen OP I do this all the time. I literally throw spaghetti at the wall and just hope for the best. I feel like I am just continuously winging it but after five yeras I have gotten pretty good at it.

Hey fellow Disney Lovers,

I generally have a few lessons in which I can use Pixar shorts to teach students how to identify and discuss literary signposts, how to identify and explain the development of theme, character traits, and other narrative elements. What are some of your favorite shorts? I am trying to incorporate activities where my students get to choose their own clips for independent practice with these skills and need a variety to draw from.

The most important lesson from the Snyder-verse JUSTICE LEAGUE is the value of good editing.

High school special class (self-contained) teachers: What do you use for planning? I’ve always been an inclusive teacher, so I followed the plan book of my co-teacher. I can’t even decide if I should go digital or paper-based let alone make a final decision! I’ll be teaching 9-11th grade math and 11th grade science. The 11th grade classes I can very much do whatever I (or the student) want/need…there isn’t a set curriculum

Hello! I work in change management and am assigned to an IT POM transformation. I’m still in my fact finding/change readiness analysis phase, but struggling with the senior leadership team. Does anyone have any lesson learned or best practices in eliciting feed back from senior leaders? think SVP and above? I thought about focus groups, but their time is limited. Also, survey response rate tends to be low for these guys. Any ideas???

Did anyone else adopt the new Florida Wonders curriculum? We just adopted it this school year, and I teach 4th grade. My team and I have not found a good flow, schedule, or whatever you want to call it. We feel like it teaches too many skills in one lesson, and we are not able to truly teach anything “deep” enough for students to master. Does anyone have any insight? What do you do? Do you like the curriculum? Why or why not? Would you be willing to share what you do weekly/daily? Thanks!
