This Is Our Day: Sample Lesson Plans

One of the challenges of teaching at this level is the integration of the expectations and guidelines from not only the CMSD but also Ohio’s Step up to Quality program and Ohio’s Head Start program.

I’ve created a lesson plan format that integrates all of these and provides a guide through each day’s goals, activities and expectations. I am glad to share it with other educators to help them develop their own plans or simply use mine.
