A fresh teaching contract or a new term is on the way, and it's time to plan. Or time to procrastinate - because planning an entire unit of teaching can be too daunting to even contemplate, and a sense of impending doom develops as day after day goes by without any of this precious "planning" getting done. We've all been there, and in this episode we discuss why that is, and what we can do about it. By re-imagining planning as a fundamentally creative rather than an administrative process, we can get back to why we started teaching in the first place and free ourselves to create exciting learning instead of just stoically trying to fill lesson time.
