3270 - LESSON PLANS

Every teacher is responsible for planning on a daily basis. Lesson plans should be designed for individual student programs taking cognizance of student strengths and weaknesses.

 A.While teachers are required to be thoroughly prepared for each daily lesson, plans may be prepared for each lesson or on a long-term basis; i.e., unit of work - whichever is most appropriate. Material to be used in a lesson(s) - such as duplicated material, cassette tapes, films, filmstrips, transparencies - may serve as an integral part of the plan.

 B.Lesson plans for individualized programs should reflect a general overview and purpose of the instructional program based on the "Graded Course of Study" - individual student records may serve as an integral part of the lesson plan.

 C.Lesson plans will be reviewed on a weekly basis by appropriate administrative and supervisory personnel.

 D.Teachers are to provide adequate directions for substitutes - the purpose of which shall be to continue the ongoing program or, if more appropriate, a meaningful educational alternative that relates to the subject area.

 E.A copy of the lesson plans will be available at the office for substitute teachers when needed.
