I'm still in college so I dont know yet, there's at least a couple teachers I know of on here who could answer that alot better than myself. Ya I'm sure there is alot of recycling, and if you're lazy I'm sure you could ride out the same ones for quite some time.
Good teachers continuously update them though, and especially for me, who(hopefully) will be teaching Social Studies(where theres been a serious curriculum change where it will now focus more on present day problems(ie. fair trade) more than history), so I'll need to stay on my toes as new events arise. I'm told by far your hardest year is your first, as not only are you not "in the groove" yet for dealin with kids/teens, but you dont have any lesson plans developed. Hence, alot of late nights. I hear from friends who graduated before me that a social life is null and void your first year.
