Use Templates: I create templates for lesson plans and grading. This saves time and ensures consistency across work. Align Assessments with Lessons: I design assessments e.g., quizzes, essays that directly reflect my lesson objectives. This makes grading easier and ensures consistency. I also use formative assessments e.g., exit tickets, quick quizzes to check understanding during lessons.

Two things that work well for me: 1. Simplicity in planning: I teach AP English Lit, and every day we Talk, Read, and Write - in some order. Our simple structure prioritizes productivity over “busy-ness” - and I’m not tying myself in knots to plan daily lessons from scratch. My students appreciate the peaceful vibe and their stress levels are low because they know what’s coming. They don’t spend time figuring out WHAT to do, so they can spend more time practicing the real work of our class. 2. I don’t grade everything. There’s a lot of ungraded practice (in which students are invested bc they like the class) and they get immediate, quality rubric-rooted peer feedback (and often a score) before I even see the work I end up grading.

Lesson delivery will depend on how well you have planned your lesson. For instance, during planning you must be conversant with the content you are going to teach, the right resources, level of the learners and also the right pedagogical methods to be used. After content delivery then you can grade your learner accordingly.
