lesson plans

I think the importance of lesson plans depend upon what subject(s) you teach and where you teach. I have known teachers in private schools who say they never complete lesson plans. My husband is a high school teacher who| teaches only science, and he never completes lesson plans. He just has everything organized in a day-to-day notebook and pulls out what he wishes to work on on a particular day. He has been teaching science for six years, so he doesn't have to change much, unless he gets a new textbook. The standards remain the same, though. As for me, I couldn't function without jotting down what | |
I am going to do for the week, even though I have been teaching in the same grade level now for four consecutive years. There are state standards to follow, and our principal requires us to submit each Monday morning--first thing--a list of lesson activities for the week for the PARENTS. We also have to carefully follow and document that we are following long-range plans. I can understand the paperwork stress. It does appear as if we get more each year, doesn't it?
