Good teachers make detailed plans for their lessons. It’s necessary to use the time as efficiently as possible.
Great teachers know how to read a room and chuck the plan out the window. Sometime you have to read your students’ faces and pivot away from the plan. Your students are human beings with human needs, and some days that means not following the spreadsheet.
Trust yourself to chuck the plan when the need arises, and do the right thing in that moment to care for and educate your students. Chuck your plan and connect with the humans in front of you.
