I use this lesson plan template within all of my lessons. I found it incredibly helpful when I started my teaching journey as it helped me differentiate my lessons in multiple different ways, think about literacy and feedback within each lesson and it gave me ideas on how to use different teaching strategies within each lesson, for example; ‘Help stations’, ‘Inspiration stations’, ‘Hot seating’ etc.
The ‘QUICK GLACE’ and ‘PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO:’ section is very helpful. If you just need a quick refresher on where you’re up to in your lesson, you can check that here with just a keyword: ‘Demonstration’, ‘Review text’, ‘Questions page 6’ etc.
You can write the names of particular student who either need additional support or who may be of concern. This section is also very helpful for those covering your class who may not know these particular learners.
It is recommended that you give detailed information in the various sections to help ensure your lesson runs smoothly. If another member of staff takes your lesson, it will be very easy for them to work out where your class is within the syllabus and what to do within your lesson.
Additional classroom layouts have also been provided on the second page for ease of editing.
It is recommended that this file is printed ‘back to back’.

It is saved in Adobe. Then you have to convert it to Word to use it. Then the margins are so small it is difficult to write anything. It looks pretty, but if you can't use it, it's pointless. Wasted £8:00
