In a rut

The first month of school I used various activities. A few of the activities that I used are role playing, research projects, student teaching, technology based games, songs and poetry. All of the students were productive and excited about the majority of the learning activities. Students were also interested in being apart of FCCLA. I was excited to see how well the lessons were being received by my students. By the second week of September I was struggling to find time to prep for the more interesting lessons. Between teaching, committees, FCCLA and all the administrative responsibilities, I was in the weeds. I think every teacher who is in the course would love to teach every lesson the we have learned. Unfortunately, all the other responsibilities tend to trump our lesson plans. Especially since at my school planning is used for subbing for absent teachers, having faculty meetings or PLU related training. I don't believe that the administration truly understands the work that goes into CTAE courses.
