What is the purpose of the Lesson Plan? Is it for teachers or Administrators?
 * Plans are for both. The teachers need lesson plans to make sure that they have well-thought out, engaging lessons for their students. They need to make sure they thoroughly cover all of the standards as outlined by the State. Responsible and professional teachers want to come to class every day prepared for the children entrusted to them.


 * Quite frankly, administrators use lesson plans as one of many ways to assess teachers’ performance. Lesson plans help administrators know what is going on in the classrooms of all of the teachers they appraise from one week to the next.

Can we use the lesson plan for a daily plan or a multi-day plan?
 * Yes...both....as long as the standards are the same. Once the standards change the form should change. Make sure though that you are changing/chuncking daily lesson activity weekly. You should not have the exact same plan for 3 weeks. If even the activities or project is the same each daily agenda should look different.

How do I mirror a lesson? How do I share my lesson plans with a group?
 * In order to mirror a lesson, you have to select that option when creating the schedule. Instead of selecting “a course with learning standards,” you need to select “a course that mirrors another course.”
 * To share you lesson with a colleague, get into Forethought and select "change my settings." Then go to "share my planner" and "add teacher." Any teacher you add will be able to see your planner, but not make changes.

Can I add attachments to my lesson plans?
 * Yes. For each day, there is a paper clip icon at the bottom of the screen. Click on the paper clip, browse through your computer, and select what you want to attach. It is the same process you do when attaching to an email.
