Lesson Plan Template This was the template I used for all of my lesson plans in my lesson plan book. We had standards that all of our plans had to include.  In 2000, these were the standards of my school district.  I would suggest that you find your state art standards and then your local school district standard.  Then incorporate them into your template, or mine (if you choose to use it.)  I have no problem with your using my template if your principal accepts it.  You will have more than enough other work to do- some useful, some not.  Save this template on your computer by copying it and saving it in your word processor.  Fill in the areas with your plans (or mine-if you want to use them), save it with your title and print it, and put it in your lesson plan book.
