Common Core & Danielson Aligned Lesson Plan Templates

These planning templates, available as a PDF and Word document, provide a straightforward structure for planning your lesson. The ELA lesson plan template incorporates prompts to help you follow the TCRWP Workshop Model. For both subjects, reminders are provided in checklist form on the right-hand side of each component of the lesson plan. These bullets align with Charlotte Danielson's Framework for Teaching. Teachers can use these templates to prepare for observations or as a guide for daily planning. Simply fill in the boxes with your desired learning outcomes and procedures!

**Edited to add an additional template with WHERETO Framework from the Understanding by Design text by Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe**

Although documents are designed specifically for Reading, Writing, and Math lessons, they can be easily adapted for science and social studies.

Note: Templates have been used in grades K-5. If downloaded correctly, you should receive two word documents and two PDF documents. The PDFs are identical to the word documents, but have been provided in case the formatting is off when downloading my word document.

I hope you will find this product useful! Please email me (ginalorentz@gmail.com) or comment with any questions or suggestions for improving the lesson plan templates.
