The daily lesson plan follows the structure most teacher programs use: teacher, subject, grade, date, topic and duration; learning objectives and standards; materials and resources; a five-part procedure — warm-up, direct instruction, guided practice, independent practice and closure — each with a minutes box; then assessment, differentiation and a reflection area.

The weekly lesson plan puts Monday to Friday on one landscape page with columns for objectives, activities, materials and assessment or homework.

Every box is a multi-line form field, so you can type plans on a laptop, save them and print or share them with a mentor or substitute. US Letter or A4.
