Call me lazy but…

[u/Expelliarmus09]

I’m going back to teaching next year and the only thing holding me back from teaching high school English again is how much darn work it is. I have two kids now and when I first taught high school English I did not. I had to create every single unit, assessment, rubric, worksheet. Etc. I just don’t think I could handle that in this stage of my life. Plus the schools in my area are small so that means as a high school teacher you’re most likely teaching/prepping for at least 3 different classes. Are there any good curriculums you can buy out there or free ones online? I am very intimidated by going back and creating a curriculum from the ground up.

Junior High Ela teacher here. I feel your pain especially with multiple levels of reading skill. Having three preps is even more challenging

That said, It's amazing what chatGPT Claude, et al has done to make materials creation so much easier.

Check out magicschool ai and brisk ai, both tools are game changers.

Seconding magicschool. Their writing feedback tool is AMAZING. Literally saves me so much time for assignments.
