"I am a new teacher...

I need ideas about long term planning and managing my time, I am also taking Grad courses at night, and can barely plan for more than a day ahead, my mentor said I have to begin planning for at least 2weeks ahead of time...I am getting very stress. Please help me!"

Approach planning as what you are going to do, not how you are going to do it. Even if you only come up with a list of topics, it's a start. Coming up with everything is probably not going to happen for a while. (I'm on my fourth year teaching, I'm lucky to get a week organized at a time, haven't even attempted two.)

Is there anyone else around who teaches the same classes that you can sit down with and plan? Having a buddy during planning time REALLY helps!

Good Luck!
