Bit of an AIBU, and a help!!!! combined really!
Am schools direct science trainee on second placement. All is generally well and I have every intention of hanging on in there for the next few decades.
I am spending far, far too long planning lessons and I would really appreciate any advice on how to cut it down.
My first placement school had a good set of resources - full scheme of work for KS3 and KS4; suggested lesson objectives; some worksheets and ideas for practicals.
Placement school two has... the AQA spec for KS3, and slightly more for KS4. No textbooks for KS3. No worksheets, standard pracs - anything like that. I am using anything I can nick from other schools or download from TES, but it's taking me AGES and I always have to rewrite what I do find - or start from scratch. Chalk and talk is Not Allowed and everything has to be 3 way differentiated. I am struggling to find ways to get the information over to the pupils which don't involve me standing at the front.
So, really - is this normal? And until I have a vast bank of resources built up, is there any way to reduce the ridiculous amount of time I am currently spending faffing about?
Thanks in advance!
