Create lesson plans in your pacing plan

Last updated

Each lesson in a TeachShare pacing plan comes with its lesson plan. Build the plan from your curriculum, open a day’s lesson, and its lesson plan is the first page of the packet, with the objectives, standards, materials, and lesson arc. Change anything in it with Chat, then print it with the lesson’s pages.

Build the plan from your curriculum

  1. Click New pacing plan under Pacing plans in the sidebar. The first screen reads Choose how you’d like to get started.
  2. Click Choose a curriculum, find the one your district uses, such as Bluebonnet Learning or Illustrative Mathematics, and click Request Access.
  3. Or drop your pacing guides and teaching materials on the page, or click Browse files and pick them.

Open a day’s lesson plan

  1. Go to the day you’re teaching in your pacing plan.
  2. Click Open the lesson beside the lesson’s title. The lesson opens as one packet.
  3. Choose Lesson plan at the top of the list to read its objectives, standards, materials, and lesson arc.
  4. Pick any page below it to see that page, with its versions such as On level and Answer key.

Change the lesson plan with Chat

  1. Ask Chat in your pacing plan for the change you want, such as “Swap the lab for a teacher demo” or “Add a sentence frame for my English learners.”
  2. To change one page of the lesson, open the page and ask Chat there.

Chat can add, edit, or adapt anything in your plan, a lesson, or a page.

Let next week build from this week

  1. Open each lesson’s details when class ends and click Mark taught.
  2. Move a lesson you didn’t get to onto the day you’ll teach it. Chat in your plan can move it for you.
  3. Over the weekend, TeachShare builds next week’s resources from what you marked and moved. Until then, next week shows as an outline of its lessons.

Print the lesson

  1. Open the lesson and click Print packet in the bar at the top.
  2. Choose to print the lesson packet, or the packet with its answer keys.

A lesson opened as one packet, its lesson plan at the top.

Good to know

To build a week before the weekend, click the build button in the week’s header, such as Build 10 resources.

To leave the day for a substitute, click the button at the foot of the day, such as Print Tuesday as sub plans. See Print a day as sub plans.

Colleagues can plan from the same pacing plan and see each change as it happens. Each needs a TeachShare account of their own. See Share a plan with colleagues.
