Our Fave Planning Template!

Our teachers have been planning with a variety of templates.

This is the latest version.

You will notice the difference between this template and the previous one is the removal of the Achievement Standards section where teachers teased out what knowledge and skills would be at the standard, exceeding the standard and greatly exceeding the standard.

Our school is moving towards an evidence based approach to assessment...more on that in the coming weeks!

Classroom Planning Templates

Woodlands Primary School has modified and created some useful planning templates for teachers. 

If you are interested in any of the planning templates - please click the photo for a link to Google Docs where you can download the template by clicking on Download.

1. Australian Curriculum Planning Document - this one has a section for listing Grade Allocations from the previous semester. It also has sections for comparing DoE Expected Standards to the AC Achievement Standards. Below is an explanation sheet and a blank planning sheet.

2.  For Kindergarten and Pre Primary teachers - this planning template makes reference to the Early Years Learning Framework and Foundation Australian Curriculum in English. There are domain based sections.

3.  An alternative classroom planning template for Australian Curriculum English with Strand Links.

 

Here is an example of a classroom lesson plan. It is aimed at the Year 1 level. The strand is Literature. The Sub Strand is Literature and Context. The text is "David Goes to School" by David Shannon. Pop back to The Woodlands Hub later this week to view teacher usage of this plan!
