LESSON PLAN TEMPLATEGrade Level: Class Time: It’s OK to have more than
one class period per lesson—just indicate which sections will be done for each
Essential Understanding: What will students learn? This is not CONTENT-specific but SKILL specific—should align to assessment
Learning Outcomes: What will students be able to do? (Based on Essential Understanding)
Common Core Standard: One lesson cannot realistically address more than one CC standard, and may only address PART of a standard—if so, highlight the particular skill you’re covering
IFC Skill: This should be aligned to the assessment/graphic organizer
Questioning: What are some questions that you’ll ask students? (These should be rooted in the text)
Learning/Teaching Activities CT=Classroom Teacher L=Librarian
Resources
Mini Lesson AKA: “The Hook”/Introduction/Anticipatory Set + Modeling Explains what students are expected to learn “I DO”
Guided Practice Model what you want students to practiceMake sure guided practice matches independent practice“WE DO”
Independent Practice “YOU DO”
Differentiation
Closing/Sharing/Reflection
AKA “Closure”
Assessment

LESSON VS. UNIT
• Unit Planning Sheet = Cover Sheet/ Road Map– Lesson plans are attached to the unit
• Allows you to group lesson plans by common skill/product
• GREAT for personal portfolios
PLANNING WORKSHEET VS. PLAN
…Good for NYC, not so important for us.

REALITY CHECK• Unit Planning = Method of organizing/grouping lessons
• Great for aligning to a curriculum map
• MODIFY as needed! They are provided in Word for a
reason.
