I created a "calendar" type lesson plan sheet for each subject (M-F) It includes the essential components of a lesson plan, many of which are repeated which is why I did one for each subject. The components are: Date, Subject(s), Objective, Standard, Teach (How will I teach this lesson?), Differentiation (i.e., small group), Assessment(i.e., exit slip)
Very often when scaffolding lessons the subject, standard, differentiation and assessment parts are the same so no need to repeat daily.
This format worked very well in Kindergarten and First Grade. I'm not sure if it will work as well in Pre-K but I found it very simple. Also, for the Differentiation and Assessment parts I added a "checklist" because again, it is often the same and/or you may do many. For example, in the Differentiation Box I listed 1-1, small group, visuals, etc. and simply checked off all I would use for that particular lesson.

Does anyone have a simple, basic format for lesson planning they can recommend or send me? I have a lot of new unexperienced teachers.
