I have designed a simple blank plans and reflections for teachers, student teachers and supply teachers. This a PDF version, suitable for making speedy handwritten notes, that can help teachers think through what they are doing and pass on the information necessary for their sessions to TAs and other classroom support. There are sections to indicate what resources are needed, what extra support or extension tasks should be given, the day’s timetable, what went well and the next steps to take in the children’s learning. The diary style of planning and reflection here is meant to inform and guide the teacher through their activities with their pupils, and is based on years of researched and tested ways of working. There are several different formats here for you to choose from, so feel free to pick what suits you best or to cherry pick elements from these to create your own. I would love to hear your feedback.

A great little set of forms for either Supply Teachers or teachers preparing for daily or short term cover. They have simple headings that help teachers pick out the key goings-on needed for a good handover. Each sheet offers different ways of presenting the information, so that you can find one that will suit you and your setting, but, obviously, feel free to adapt. Forms include: Checklists and times for what should happen during the day Space to say what work was completed and marked Comment boxes for: Highlights of the Day; Helpful Children; Behaviour (good and bad); Absent children, accidents etc; and any other further comments Supply Teacher signature and contact details If you find these useful, please look out for my Teacher Lesson Planner and Reflections, which follow a similar format and are available from TES resources via My Shop for free.
