Procrastination and Organization

My other classroom project that made me happy this week was finalizing my lesson plan format. An amazing special education teacher that I worked with a few years ago gave me her lesson plan template and I’ve been saving it for my “someday” if I ever worked as a consultant teacher. That year I think she had something like 25 preps because she had so many students and such a variety of lessons she was teaching and teachers she was working with. She used this color-coded and extremely organized system to keep her students, co-teachers, classrooms and aides organized. I’m excited that I get to put it to use this year. The format is so detailed and incorporates IEP goals, student needs, learning goals, etc. I tweaked it to fit my schedule, services and students. I am so happy with the way it turned out!
