Get Your Students Hired
Steven,
If you have taught the course for which you are planning the lessons before I would take the previous lesson plans and focus on the areas that you want to improve or expand. Do this in an orderly way so you can progressive work through the lesson plans and refine each area. It won't take long before you will reduce your prepare time but be just as prepared as you are now with the time commitment you are expending. There is no real short cut at the beginning but the investment is well worth it in quality instructional delivery.
