His planning time is usually consumed with meetings and conferences. He also coaches basketball and doesn't get done with practice until 7:30. By the time he gets home, he is too tired to study data and determine where to go from that data. He feels that his planning time should be open for this. What could he do to become more effective? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Employ a student that enjoys working on computers or working with numbers to collect and document data. Mr. Johnny could begin his day 30 minutes earlier or attempt to stay 30 minutes later and keep this time sacred and devoted solely to reviewing the information. Also, see if there are any computer software programs that the school system has purchased that he could tag onto and use for this dilemma.
