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!) Sometimes I use a calendar format and assign each student a number. Each student will be given sticky notes at the beginning of the week to write his or her response. Instead of taking time to collect the "tickets", have the students come and put their sticky notes on their numbered box. This eliminates time and effort of the teacher in collecting them and a sticky note does not have room for an essay response ;)
