Lesson Plan Collaboration

To decrease the workload and stress, teachers can use a shared lesson plan doc. Your campus will have a specific lesson plan template. However, for demonstration purposes, this 5E Lesson Plan Template let's you see how you and your team can collaborate and plan weekly lessons on a shared Google doc. In order to collaborate, the lead teacher will share the Lesson Plan with the team members and give them access to edit. Teachers will collaborate by either grade level, department or elective group. Groups will be decided at the campus level (i.e., 1st Grade, 4th Grade Math, HHS PE).

Remember- In the 5E Model, instruction is primarily student-led and inquiry-based. The teacher is a facilitator, guiding the student. In the end, students arrive at a deep understanding of concepts. Each stage or "E" of the model serves as a foundation to the next, and should not be utilized all in one day, but rather over several days.

Lesson Plan Submission

Google Forms provide an efficient way to turn in lesson plans. Campus leadership can create a Lesson Plan Submission Form (see example below). The department or grade-level leader accesses the Lesson Plan Submission form to submit the team's lesson plan. All forms will be sent directly to campus leadership for time-stamp, review and records.

Example: HES Plan Submission Form

Each campus has created their own form to be utilized as an "exit ticket" to check in with students and see how they are doing. You can add your campus Check-in form as an "assignment" in Google Classroom. The data collected from this form can be shared with the appropriate members of the campus.
