This has never happened at any of the schools I have taught at. Sounds like a lot of extra work!

No. I’ve taught 26 years and have never had to turn in my lesson plans. If an administrator comes in for an evaluation, we have to have our plans on our desk for them to quickly look at. They may come back later, if necessary, to look at our plans more in detail.

We had a new AP one year who required us to turn in lesson plans every week and made comments on them. That lasted about 2 weeks. He realized he had released the kraken, so to speak! Hah.

Been there too. And we a
Had to make copies of the worksheets or assignments that went with each lesson too.

My mom had to do this at her elementary school in South Carolina. I’ve worked at two elementary schools in Maryland and one in Georgia and in all three lesson plans were only required for formal observations.

That makes more sense. I too have to have my lesson plans posted each Monday... but, I do that at the beginning of each marking period and NEVER look at them again!

At the first school I taught at, no. At the school I taught at this year, yes. Not only was I required to turn in weekly lesson plans, but our principal wanted every lesson to be framed as an "I can" statement using the language we planned to use when we taught the lesson. So I couldn't just give the objective, I had to carefully phrase it. It was so time-consuming!

Yes, lesson plans are due each week. We use the COPE format (content, objective, procedure, evaluation)

We are actually required to submit our lessons for the coming week before leaving every Friday. All the schools in my district are re required to to do this by the state and is supposedly used to make sure we're teaching all the standards. Things got a little better this year, last year we had to use a very confusing template but this year the district got us Planbook. Com memberships which are much more convenient. The weekly requirement is still annoying though

I have been teaching in my district over 20 years and we have always had to turn in lesson plans by Monday morning. With new administration last year it kind of faded away but I believe it is still required .

Every Thursday night for the following week!

In my opinion, formal lesson plans are such a waste of time.
