Long Term Plan Template
To ensure your Long Term Plan achieves its purpose, you should be able to articulate the answers to the following key reflections. 1) Student Achievement – Can you briefly describe how this plan leads your students to the achievement of the big goal? 2) Organization/Sequence of Units – Can you explain how the learning goals within each unit logically fit together? Can you explain how the sequence of units or topics helps build student learning? 3) Timing – Does the timing of your units (each unit and the course as a whole) take into account your school calendar?
This section is designed to help you see the flow of your units/topics across the entire school year.
