Daydreaming about the classroom I will one day teach in is one of my favorite pastimes. Envisioning day to day activities/assignments and thinking about the inspirational lectures/lessons I will be sure to give is exciting. Having to sit down, seriously contemplate and make a plan in order to establish the classroom environment that I want is, however, difficult.
It is easy to get lost in the daydream of a perfect classroom, but it is not so easy to create it. This is where the dividing line lies amongst teachers; the ones that are able to construct a realm of creativity vs. the ones that produce a succubus of dread. All the planning in the world will not prepare me for the first day/week/month/year and all the things that will be thrown my way, but having a clear vision of the outcomes I desire will help certainly help a great deal.
