What it does
Every plan has learning intentions, success criteria, key vocabulary and a timed sequence from starter to plenary, with what you do and what students do at each step. It adds support and extension ideas, accessibility notes, assessment checks, resources and safety notes.
Add your class profile, your own documents or a note about your learners, and the plan fits the class in front of you. Lesson length can be anything from 10 minutes to 5 hours.
Who it's for
Primary and secondary teachers from Year 0 to Year 13, substitute teachers, and trainee teachers planning for a practicum.
