Time Management for Teachers

As a teacher, it is not only important to manage time for your students, but for yourself too. While I was teaching at a junior high, I learned how important it is to take advantage of my prep period. After a couple weeks, I got a system down. During prep, that is when I would plan my two lessons for the next day (since there were only two different classes). After school, I would stay and enter in grades for about a half hour to an hour. I used before school time, for students to come and get help from me if they were struggling. I also made sure that we corrected papers at the first five minutes of class. This way, I never took anything home with me. I made sure I got everything I needed to get done, during the day. By getting almost everything done at school, while I could, it made life easier on myself.
