Re: Completely Overwhelmed
Posted by Lauren on 9/01/08
Do you have friends in your department who you can count on
and teach one or more of these classes? I'm teaching three
preps this year and two of them are new to me this year
(told of the change less than 1 week before school started),
so one of my close friends is essentially giving me her plans
for each week, and I am modifying them. She's really
organized and has taught the class for years, so it's not
really hard for her to make extra copies of her units. This
has saved my sanity!
