17 The Lesson Plan

Lesson Plan Assignments

Our department has created a lesson plan template that many of your child development classes will be using to help you plan, implement, and evaluate high quality, developmentally appropriate activities to use with young children. These lesson plans not only prepare you for our child development classes but

The lesson plan template is available as a Google Doc, Word, and PDF document and can be found on the Child Development & Education Department website under Lesson Plans.

  • Google Doc: (recommended!) If you decide to use the Google Doc template, click to copy the Lesson Plan Template and save to your Google Drive.
  • Word Document: If you decide to use the Word document, the boxes will expand as you type. You might want to use this version for extended lesson plans.  This is probably the best option of all.  Be sure to save it on your computer.
  • PDF Document:  If you decide to use the PDF, it is fillable (meaning you can type right on it).  If you choose this option, please use Internet Explorer or Chrome as your web browser.  Firefox does NOT support the fillable version. Some get it to work on Safari and others don’t.  Be sure to Save As on your computer.

Remember to contact your instructor for specific assignment information and questions
