Lesson Plans

Each teacher is expected to keep a detailed plan of all classes in a plan book or other satisfactory method.  Tentative outlines of class work will be prepared in advance and should be readily available for a substitute in the event of absence.  Plan books should be in use whenever the teacher is teaching a class.  An accurate up-to-date list of class membership with seating plan should be kept in the book.  Schedule of classes, bell schedule, name of textbooks used, as well as other information helpful to a substitute teacher should be readily available.

Lesson Plans

Purpose

The Board of Education recognizes the potential usefulness of effectively implemented written lesson plans, as:

1.  A guide for the teacher s classroom instruction;

2.  A means for maintaining continuity in daily instruction toward the accomplishment of identified performance objectives and system-wide goals; and

3.  As a necessity for effective instruction by substitutes.

Requirements

Written lesson plans will be prepared by the instructional staff.  Plans will be available on the teachers  desks to insure the effective continuation of the learning process in a teacher s absence.  Plans will be available at all times to administrators or curriculum leaders to facilitate substitute service and for purposes of instructional review.

The contents of lesson plans will be consistent with the adopted curriculum performance objectives, i.e. cognitive, affective, psychomotor.  The content and detail of such plans are the major responsibility of the teacher under the Principal s supervision.
