In a 7.5 hour school day, how much time do you spend NOT with students?
It's not much, right?
For me, I have a 45 minute planning. That quickly turns into a 35 minute planning when you consider the time that it takes to walk the kids to their specials class, get settled, and then head to pick them up.
I also have a 30 minute lunch. When you shave off transition time for going to and coming back from lunch, that's closer to 20 minutes.
20 minutes + 35 minutes = 55 minutes A DAY that I am not with kids.
That means that, in my 40 hour work week, I have less than 5 hours for prep. My guess is you have a similar situation.
What are we expected to do in that short time each week?
I am not going to lie to you and say that I have all of the solutions you need for the perfect planning time. I am not going to pretend that I always get everything done before the week is over.
BUT. I get a lot done before the week is over. And most weeks I go home work-free on the weekends. I have some planning time hacks to share with you all today to show how I do it!
