Do Teachers/Educators worry about creating creative lesson plans?

YES YES YES,





I am not a teacher but I am a student teacher,


(a student who totally takes over for a teacher)


I basically substitute, but, I have to do even more than that,


I have to read what I will be teaching for the day,


Create a few review questions, from yesterday's lesson,


Create an interesting lesson,


(Usually consisting of about three parts, I try to never use the book, but I always use the book to teach,)


I usually create a creative powerpoint, with a few neat pictures and videos, (which they take notes to,


then do a fun lab/ in school project,


(I have used a wide variety, from making a cell using food objects, to collecting fallen leaves outside, and measuring mass, volume, etc.)





PLANNING is a teachers LIFE





But thats not all. You have to be able to affectively teach a lesson, usually two or three times, in two or three different ways, (because everyone learns differently,) then pass out work, make sure the students do the work (and not play,) help those who werent paying attention,collect the work, grade it (which takes forever,) pass out home work, collect the homework, contact the parents of those who didnt do there homework, go over the homework, grade that, record grades, etc.





People dont realize it, but teaching is one of the most stressful jobs in the world.





If you become a teacher, you will soon realize why most kids think teachers dont have lives.





HAHADo Teachers/Educators worry about creating creative lesson plans?
As a teacher for special needs kids this is one of my biggest concerns. Every day I have to find a way to teach the same stuff everyone else is teaching but I have to find a new, better, and hopefully more creative and interesting method of delivery. I think most good teachers do this but there are plenty of people who want to lecture and give out worksheets. I hope this was helpful!Do Teachers/Educators worry about creating creative lesson plans?
i think the do because they are trying to capture their students minds and make it so they want to learn something
I don't worry about it, but I try to be creative when making lesson plans. It helps keep the information I want the students to learn in their heads for a longer time. If they can relate something important to something interesting we've done in class, they'll be more apt to remember and apply it later.
Yes we do. We want our students to be challenged and to to well. High interest, creativity help get us there.
I guess it comes down to what you define as creative. If you mean innovative then that takes a good bit of planning and students with open minds. If you mean being inventive then you need to know your students well to draw on their own talents and abilities in the class. I don't worry about being creative because if you love your subject then 'creative' thinking should come easier than if you don't. I am not sure that I could be as creative about music (my area) than I could about math (but someone could!). Generally I feel that my lesson plans are creative but sometimes my students might need a bit of convincing.
Yes! I do! We almost have to try to become circus entertainers nowadays! It's very hard to keep students' attention if not. It's part of the constructivist theory of learning, the most modern theory dealing with how students best learn.
