I would sure like to try that one year. I teach six 45 - 55 minute periods and have 5 preps. It is a killer trying to keep my head straight, prepare properly, and change gears all day long. If I had the opportunity to teach only one prep, I would do a lot of experimenting. I would look for new and more exciting ways to teach and try out something new on each class at least once a week. It is an opportunity for you to get really really good at what you do and go more deeply into the subject. If you are not technically savvy, take the opportunity to learn some new things and adopt them to the classroom. My biggest issue with technology is that for the majority of the time we use it to assist us in teaching the same ways we have always taught. We really have not become good at using technology to actually lower the teaching burden on the teacher. But that is another thread. Look at it as an opportunity to do some things you have never had time to do before. By the end of each day, you should well know what worked well, what didn't, and how each class contrasted with the others. I think you are in a position to have a lot of fun this year. Good luck to you! RESPOND TO THIS POST START A NEW THREAD RETURN TO CHATBOARD Posts on this thread, including this one Teaching the same class five times a day, 9/01/08, by Alex.
