Thank you all who responded!!!! Hi- I use an Excel template. I include all of the required elements. I print them out and keep in a binder. each week I just update the lesson plan.- Debbie Bergen ________________________________________ Because I teach an entire Pre-K to 8 building and we have a 6 day rotation schedule, I use a form I made up on the computer. I use a binder that to keep each plan with a copy of any sheets/ book lists needed for that rotation _________________________________________ Of course pre-computer days I used a plan book but switched over to doing it on the computer. That made it easy to e-mail to the principal each week but even better made it easy to make notes on it and make changes for the next year. _________________________________________ We submit our lesson plans weeky and put them on a disk and have to turn them all in at the end of the year. There is also a good online template at Discovery School and they let you store the plans under your Custom Classroom. _______________________________________ I don't know if this will help, but our district has a lesson plan format that all teachers are expected to use (called EEEI). The district has a template on the website that I have saved and use to write up my lessons. Nina Jackson Library Media Teacher National Board Certified Franklin Middle School (6-8 grade) Long Beach, CA njackson@lbusd.k12.ca.us http://www.lbusd.k12.ca.us/franklin/library _______________________________________________________ I was required to write my lesson plans in out in detail. Since this was a page or more I wrote them on the computer then printed them out. In my lesson plan book I would just put the subject and materials needed. The format I used started with the grade, subject, teacher and time, Information Literacy standard (written out), VA standards of Learning (written out). followed by the details of the lesson from introduction to conclusion. My supervisor wanted every last detail written out. Although this can take a lot of time and I felt it was to detailed for my experience, it is a good thing to do when you are just starting out. _________________________________________________ I have used a lesson plan book, but now have created my own weekly form. At the top it says Library and Dates. I write in the week (ex. Sept 5-9). Below that is a table, 2 columns and 4 rows filling the whole page. I have a heading in each cell, Early Childhood, 4 yr. Kinder, Kindergarten, Gr. 1, Gr. 2, Gr. 3, Gr. 4, Gr.5.. I make photocopies of this page, double sided, and 3 hole punch them and keep them in a 3 ring binder. Inside the front cover of the binder I have a copy of my schedule, and inside the back or punched and inserted is a copy of the yearly school calendar. I also add in the list of themes for early childhood and other pertinent info. At the beginning of the year. I add in all the dates, week by week. Then I block out and note days off (Thanksgiving, inservice days etc). I also add certain things such as book fair, date that state children's book choice votes need to be submitted etc. From those dates I can figure when I need to start certain events such as reading the book choice award nominees, showing the book fair video etc. I either pencil those in, or add a sticky note on the appropriate week page. During the year I add comments to my lesson plans so I can use them as a basis for the next year---things such as "Gr. 1 has already heard this story--part of their new reading series" or "2 stories are too long--use just 1 and create a short activity to go with it" or "Coloring pages are in file cabinet in authors drawer" or "Bring pretzels for treat to go with 'Walter the Baker' ". I'll either use bright colored sticky notes for these, or circle them with a highlighter. ________________________________ There are two lesson plan formats in Microsoft Word for Educators. I like the more detailed one but check those out. _______________________________ Goal: 1 goal Objectives: no more than 3 Materials: put in everything including pencils State Standards: Principal request Prcedures: be specific Keep them simple and easy to use. Good luck, being a librarian is so much fun. __________________________________ After eight years in the library, I write my objectives on the monthly library schedule. In my office I do have a three ring binder with daily lesson plans that I use year after year. These lesson plans are changed and updated with new projects and ideas all the time, especially in the summer. They are not written over every year. ______________________________________ Mari Ferguson, K-8 Librarian Theodore Jamerson Elementary Bismarck, ND marivferguson@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
