Frequently asked questions

What makes a lesson plan 'outstanding'?
Clear, measurable objectives differentiated by ability. A hook starter that activates prior knowledge. Activities that produce evidence of learning rather than activity. A plenary that checks whether the objective was achieved. The plan is a hypothesis — reflection on what actually happened is what produces professional growth.
Is it really free?

Can I print it more than once?
