When does planning get easier?

[CuckooCuckooClock]

I'm in my third year now and still teaching loads of stuff for the first time and having to plan from scratch (well, tes) for most lessons.

I was talking to an experienced teacher recently and he was saying that his planning now is essentially one phrase like "the heart" for instance, and he has a bank of resources to select from and can just deliver the lesson.

When will this happen for me? I still feel like I have so much to learn and most of my lessons are a bit shit tbh because I'm still getting to grips with how it all fits together and which bits the kids really need to know and which bits they will struggle with.

If you're an experienced teacher, when did you start to feel like you had planning under control?

Thanks for all the replies. So useful to have other perspectives.
I'm teaching all 3 sciences at ks3 and 4 and just physics at a level. I've not taught chem or biology at ks4 before and it's also the first time of teaching year13 so lots of new stuff to get my head around.

If you’re teaching a bit of Chemistry, I highly recommend subscribing to Chemsheets. It only costs £10 for the year and has a huge amount of worksheets, practicals and some power points.

Thanks snooker I will do that. It's the chemistry I'm finding the hardest.

Have you got lab techs? At the least they will know what standard practicals everyone else is running.
