How many preps do you have? If you have 3, 4 or more, or know someone who does, stick around for this episode. Oftentimes we equate 3 or more preps with 3 or 4 times the work. In this episode Sophie Forker, a French and Spanish teacher in New York City, joins me for a conversation about managing our teacher workload. We talk specifically about navigating a large number of preps, but it ultimately comes down to useful and actionable ways to streamline your lesson planning, whether you have 1 prep or 6.
Topics in this Episode:
- Sophie’s personal experience of having multiple preps
- effective strategies for planning and organizing multiple language preps to ensure you stay on top of your workload
- how to prioritize planning and ensure that each class receives the attention it needs without becoming overwhelmed
- tools, resources and systems to streamline your preparation process and make it more efficient
- practical strategies for effectively managing multiple world language preps in your own classrooms and maintaining a balanced workload
