hello
in the place i work i īm the english leader or coordinator and I do agree about planning and the lack of good teachers. I just would like you to keep this in mind, teaching is not as easy as it seems and as you said it īs really necessary to plan our activities. what we are working on to avoid teaching problems or not working on lesson plans is:
1. As the leader I ask them for their lesson plans every day and i sign them just to know they are doing them
2. I taught them what is a good lesson plan and how to make it in an easy way but explaining the details (as you want). so they don īt spend so much time doing them.
3. Make a master planner for all the classes all of you are giving so you work in the same way and you will avoid students complaints.
just as a comment, and don īt take in the wrong way. I think it īs easy to complain about the lack of good teachers. but experience makes good teachers, also how can i ask them to do something i haven īt taught them how to do it?
teach what you are asking them for, make a special format so they know what they must write and supervise they do it, it īs not necessary to enter all class to see how they work just leave your class for a couple of minutes and check what they do.
and the most important remember you are a team, so work as a team, help each other, share ideas, and trust on them. confidence makes thing easier when you are a team.
hope it helps
