Creating a reusable template can streamline your planning process:
- Use a Consistent Format: Develop a standard layout that works for your teaching style and subject area.
- Include Essential Elements: Ensure your template has spaces for all necessary components (objectives, activities, assessments, etc.).
- Allow for Customization: Build in flexibility to adapt the template for different lessons or units.
- Digital vs. Physical: Choose a format that suits your preferences (e.g., word processor document, spreadsheet, or paper planner).
- Review and Refine: Regularly update your template based on what works best in practice.
