    The only circumstances that have forced me to worry about which structures and when? are: bi-annual Common Assessments (in my case at the other 2 elementary buildings – so it’s not like we can compare notes over lunch or during a schedule break); and preparing for a common novel – which we have committed to across the elementary buildings….
    Otherwise I fully agree that the HFW will get their reps anyways – but not ALL of ’em in unison with my colleague across town!!
    No question – the lists and the timetables (“do ‘returns’ and ‘picks up’ before embarking on Brandon Brown…Dog!”) do squelch creativity and limit creative options.

    My best instruction has always been unplanned. However, my worst was always the most “teacherly” and most structured lessons despite the amount of time. It is fear that creeps in and wins and defeats a potentially amazing class. Once I recognized this, I was able to let go and just teach “in the moment” which is just that steady stream of CI.

    I hope to improve using scripts and not making them too school like. I make it too stuctured and thus loose the magic. Time for more spontaneity!
