Start the year off right with this management tool and template. Let students know what is going on (and make sure you do to) by using this daily lesson plan template that includes space for: the essential question, a do now, a habit of scholarship self assessment, an agenda, daily learning targets and a lesson post assessment / ticket out of the door. Students can keep this in their binder to keep a running record of what happened each day or it can be collected to assess what they learned. Put it next to the door when the students come in and your class will run itself!
