Lesson Plans The parties agree that instruction requires thoughtful preparation. The development of lesson plans by and for the teacher is a professional responsibility. However, a teacher’s planning and preparation may be different based on personal style, professional needs, student needs and experience in the classroom. Plans are to be used as a guide to fulfill the state standards and District’s instructional objectives for student achievement. Plans should include strategies and accommodations for students with disabilities, and English Language Learners, if needed. Remediation and enrichment and the type of progress monitoring should be included, if needed. As such, administrators shall not require that lesson plans be in a particular format. Administrators also shall not require the posting or storage of lesson plans in a particular place or manner. A principal or principal’s designee may request teachers to submit a copy of their lesson plans at the end of the teaching week or at the end of a particular unit. The teacher’s plans are to be used as a guide in order to fulfill the county’s instructional objectives and to assist the teacher in conducting a planned instructional program. Current lesson plans shall be available in the classroom for inspection at all times. Teachers shall not be routinely required to submit a copy of their lesson plans to the site administrator unless required by Article 6.9-2. 6.9-1 In the event a teacher is absent, it shall be the teacher’s responsibility to have lesson plans at the school prior to the start of the pupil day to cover the period of absence not to exceed the balance of the week in which the absence occurred. 6.9-2 If the principal or their designee, through documented classroom observation, determines that a teacher is having difficulty with classroom instruction or is not meeting instructional objectives, the principal shall hold a conference with the teacher having difficulty. The principal may require lesson plans to be turned in at the start of each week if the teacher is in one of the following categories: a) Category I teacher as defined in Article 15: or b) The teacher is on an Instructional Assistance Conference (IAC) or on a Professional Development Plan (PDP); or c) The teacher holds an average rating of Needs Improvement or Unsatisfactory on their last overall summative evaluation; or d) Educational Emergency as outlined in Article XXXI – Board’s Rights per Section 1012.28(8), Florida Statutes.
