Weekly Overview Lesson Plan Template (2-Page)
This layout is ideal for those who need to plan for multiple subjects each day, like elementary teachers. Print the pages back-to-back, then keep them in a three-ring binder so you can flip through them easily.
Weekly Overview Lesson Plan Template (1-Page)
If you teach the same general lesson several times a day, like many middle and high school teachers, this one-page version of the weekly overview template is ideal.
Weekly Overview Lesson Plan: Single Subject Template
Some teachers prefer to lay things out subject by subject, with one page for each. This gives you room for more detailed notes each day. You can print and keep these in individual binders per subject, or all in one with page dividers instead.
Monthly Lesson Plan Template: Single Subject
This monthly overview helps you visualize the big-picture plan for a single class or subject. A few simple notes each day are all you need for this kind of planning.
Individual Template
If you need to write a detailed lesson plan for an individual topic, try this template. It includes room for:
- Topic
- Learning Objectives/Standards
- Materials
- Procedure/Activities
- Assessment
- Differentiation/Modifications
- Notes
