Planning lessons when you're sick is one of the least enjoyable parts of teaching — especially when you're trying to do it at 6:30am with a splitting headache and a box of tissues.

In this mini episode of our Practical Planning series, we talk about the reality of preparing cover lessons and share practical ways to make the process easier.

We discuss the key ingredients of a good cover lesson, why context matters for casual teachers, and how setting up systems can save you time and energy when you need it most.
