My question for all you fantastic teachers out there is why I can't find any of your course calendars It is so hard to plan a new course without having even a small idea about the time it is supposed to take to teach certain concepts!
So as a favor to you, I have been working on my course outlines and lesson plans! And I have been doing it all online. When I am finished you will have complete access to all my work! And for those particular courses, if you are using the same material, you will not have to create your own! You can literally just copy and paste into your own document.
Here is what I've gotten so far:
Math 10-3 Course Calendar
Math 20-3 Course Calendar
Science 14 Course Calendar
Math 31 Course Calendar
The goal is to complete these resources by June. When they are finished I want t to include links to completed lesson plans and links to all the resources I can possibly provide.
I've taken and modified these lessons from various places. Math 10-3 and 20-3 are from Learn Alberta resources and the Mathworks textbooks. Science 14 is from the ScienceConnect.1 textbook and learn alberta. Finally, Math 31 is taken straight from my mentor teacher. He did a great job developing it and deserves all the credit, all I'm gonna do is make a calendar for it and include lesson plans for it all.
My goodness, why are things not organized like this to begin with. It is absolutely painful fishing my way through blogs upon blogs to find lessons that aren't necessarily there.
As a beginning teacher, even if I get offered a really great lesson from a more experienced teacher, it is useless unless I really know where it belongs in a set of lessons. Even trying to get a guest in to speak to a class the first time I teach it is absolutely painful because I can never match it up quite right to the classes.
