I tried posting this yesterday and it didn't show up so
here I go again...
Last year I had morning preps and with our schedule this
meant I had 2-3 times a week that I had 2 in one day.
This year I have afternoon preps and have 2 in one day
less frequently. The real issue though is that by the
time I teach 4 classes and make it to my prep, I am too
drained to do anything! Maybe I get some photocopying or
something done but not clear, creative thinking about
lessons. I then take it home with me and come in the next
day to start all over again. I don't mind bringing work
home but I'd prefer it be grading or reading (I'm an
English teacher), not the bulk of my planning.

Any advice on adjusting to the new schedule? How else do
people use preps productively? Please help! Thanks.
