There is a big divide between people who say lesson plans are overrated and people who think they are the most valuable thing a teacher can have. Some say that overly detailed lesson plans that tracks every minute the teacher has is a waste of time because of the unpredictability of an actual classroom. This may be true for teaching kids at a higher level of learning, but most elementary lesson plans are fairly simple and easy to keep track of. When it comes to young children it is often necessary to have some order of activities.

When writing a lesson plan, teachers often have to follow guidelines given to them by administrators. Guidelines can differ based on what school and what state they teach in. This requires them to write in a very formal tone because their students won't see it. All lesson plans include course objectives written by the teacher that describe what the students should know and be able to demonstrate by the end of the year.

There are a lot of different formats that can be used to create a lesson plan. Some school administrators will give a teacher a required template or format that they have to follow, while other schools will let the teacher use their own template or find one to use online. Creating a daily lesson plan can easily take up to two hours to complete.

Some lesson plans can include fun graphics, while other lesson plans are in a more formal template with "fill in the blank" type writing.

A well-written lesson plan is made in an easy-to-read, organized format for the teachers' convenience. It outlines the activities a teacher will do on any given day. In this example, the paper is split into different categorized boxes containing information the teacher needs to keep in mind while teaching. Some acronyms in the example are "ESE" which stands for exceptional student education, "ELE" which means English language learner, and "DOK" which means depth of knowledge. The lesson plan can be written daily, or teachers can plan well into the future.

Lesson Plans are only distributed to teachers. They are usually made by a teacher which they will then upload on the internet to be used by other teachers. The lesson plans created can either be used for free, or some teachers will lock their lesson plan behind a paywall in order to profit from their idea.

The lesson plan is the core of teaching kids. A lot like syllabi, the lesson plan is a road map that the teacher will follow to make sure the students are receiving the most useful information. The lesson plan is used daily by the teacher to stay on the right track
