How are teachers NOT writing lesson plans?
Okay please take everything I say w a grain of salt because I am new in education and barely know anything!! I took 2 education classes in my undergrad and wrote only one lesson plan ever. Now that I’ve graduated w my bachelors, I have to become a teacher of record before I can even join the licensure program. They just kinda shove us straight into the fire.
I’ve seen lots of people say they don’t write lesson plans and just kinda go with the flow, but my type A brain cannot understand how that is done. I don’t even have a teaching job yet and I’m stressed about making sure all units are covered and goals are met, and I can’t fathom a way to do that without having a strict lesson plan and planner that lists every daily activity and task. Someone give me some wisdom and insight because I was up all night thinking how much I’m gonna fail as a teacher after submitting my application for a second grade teaching position.
