I have a student who has no desire to listen when instructions for new material are given, and she immediately gives up if something is too difficult. What are some ways I can motivate her to want to learn new material and to stay engaged?

I am a 6th grade ELA teacher. This is my 8th year teaching and my 5th year as an ELA 6th grade teacher. I cannot seem to get a curriculum going. Every year I have taught basically the same standards but with different material and at different times in the year. I am one of 3 teachers and we plan together every week, but it is always, "well what are we going to teach next week". When I suggest working on getting organized, one teacher says she will see what someone else has, but nothing ever comes of it. The other lady says, yeah that's a great idea, and again nothing comes of it. I am so tired of the fly by the seat of my pants, STRESSING when it is close to state testing, because I am not comfortable with the level of teaching I do. I want to do better and be more consistent so that there is no doubt the students are learning and I'm not just skimming the surface. Can anyone help me with how to build a consistent in depth curriculum that I can use every year and be confident in my teaching?

I am a ELA and SS 7th grade teacher at a middle school in California. I am trying to design Do Now activities that are not too short or too long. Is there a perfect time frame for a Do Now? Some days it is 5 minutes long, some days it is 15-20 minutes which is too long... how can I find a happy medium?

I will be receiving $1500 to spend on technology for my first grade classroom. I want to use this money responsibly and in a way that best benefits my students and my instruction. I would appreciate suggestions for ways to use these funds.
