Stuck in a rut

I think that it is easy to get stuck in a rut especially when you feel inundated or their is a lack of creativity. There are a variety of strategies that can be used to keep the lesson interactive and fun for the students and teacher but it certainly takes some effort. Before NTI I didn't understand the signifigance of lesson plans and how essential it is in delivering an orderly lesson and efficient pedagogy. Just like anything else it takes practice and its something that has to be continuosly worked on when its not being done then here comes the rut.
