Plan books at GES

• Plans should allow a sub to be able to follow
  your activities for the day without difficulty.

2
Plans should include

• The Unit or chapter (if it applies)
• Text, w/s, wb, oht (the materials needed)
• W/s (worksheet)
• Wb (workbook)
• Oht (overhead transpency)
• In other words identify the resource, material
  used)
• Page or ID of the activity.

Intro Chap. 3 w/notes on overhead and T directed
discussion. Handout w/s parts of a plant and
give 15 min to complete. Collect Students are to
read pg 36-42 for HW. Pass out and go over cw
from Monday.

Plans should identify

• Homework (HW), any activity not identified will
  be assumed to be Class work (CW).
• Reviews
• When feedback was given or when you go over an
  assignment. (especially MSS)
• Assessments
• A pattern of scope and sequence.

Review Unit 13 spelling test. 10 min buddy study, use flash cards, 15 min spelling Bee. Spelling test Unit 13. Swap papers and grade in class. ½ back for HW rewrite missed words 5 times. Intro unit 14 spelling, pg 42 in text. Students are to make flash cards. CW finish for HW.

Plans should reflect and have written all major
subject activities.

• If you are doing Writing, Science, Social
  Studies, Math, LA, Reading, handwriting, etc as a
  course of study.make sure it is in the plan.
• example 2 hr reading block, nothing about
  Science is in the plans, but when I walk through
  science book is out, students are reading Chapter
  8 in round robin format. Science should be cited
  during that block in the plans.

Plans should have

• A system to identify and correlate the SSS to
  your lessons and assessments.
• Show where you have taught and tested which
  standards.

• This system needs to be simple yet accomplishes
  the intention of the law.
• Can you show where a benchmark has been taught or
  tested when asked, within a reasonable amount of
  time?
• Every Teacher must be able to demonstrate this.
  One system can be documented, but all must be
  able to do it.
• My recommendation is to work backwards, go thru
  each benchmark as a checklist and cite the
  chapter and or activity that will cover this
  benchmark. When asked, you will see it was
  covered in unit 4 and unit 4 was taught on this
  date and tested on this date as documented in
  your plans.this is just one idea, you may
  develop a better system.

Plans should

• Be completed for the week and available on Monday
  when the workday begins.
• Be available for review when walk-throughs are
  being done.
• Be used by the teacher as a guideline for that
  days instruction.

7
Plans should be

• Developed as a team and consistent among the
  grade levels.
• Individual members may be designated to develop
  specific parts of the plan, but the curriculum,
  activities and assessments are used and evaluated
  by all on the team.
• Each year, this team approach to planning will
  help us to fine tune and develop the most
  effective work for our students.
• Common planning is a time for sharing and
  developing ideas.
• The concept of working on the work is to find
  the most meaningful activities structured in such
  a way as to enhance the learning time.
• Remember, teaching is not just presenting
  information. Its not what you teach, its what
  do they learn that is important! The correct
  questions, the most effective strategies and the
  best activities are the key! Four or Five heads
  working together will design the best product!
