Lesson Plan Template For Every Grade

Creating a lesson plan template is easy with Brisk. You can effortlessly include as many or as few sections as you need. Many teachers include sections like instructional materials, learning objectives, lesson procedures, extension activities, and more. Plus, when using Brisk, your template is fully customizable, so adding any specifics required to fit your unique teaching process or the individual needs of your students is doable as well!

How Does It All Work? 

Simply open a blank Google Doc and ask Brisk to “create a lesson plan template.” In seconds, you'll have an editable template ready for any grade level or subject area that includes many of the necessities of a lesson plan. While a one-size-fits-all free lesson plan template sounds great, we know that preschool teachers, elementary teachers, and secondary teachers have specific goals and unique lesson planning needs, which is why you can customize the lesson plan template to your needs before even pressing “Brisk It!”

Specific Topic Lesson Plans

Maybe a lesson plan template isn’t what you’re looking for. You’ve got the standards, an idea, or an activity all set in your mind, but fitting it all onto a blank lesson plan template just isn’t working. Let Brisk do it for you. Just use the "lesson plan" feature within the “Create” Brisk dashboard to easily turn your specific topic into an effective lesson plan. 

Weekly and Monthly Lesson Plan Templates

Now that you’ve got the information you need for daily plans let’s go just a little deeper. With just a few short clicks, Brisk can create a weekly lesson plan template, monthly lesson plans, or even unit plans.

Customization of Weekly or Monthly Templates 

To customize a weekly or monthly lesson plan, open the Brisk Teaching extension within your blank Google Doc. After that, click Create, then Lesson Plan, select what you would like included, and Brisk will follow. Don’t forget to let Brisk know if you want the lesson plan to be weekly, monthly, etc, in the text box. In return, you'll receive a fully customizable template. This template will include sections for lesson objectives and break down each day of the week into introduction, activities, discussion, and conclusion. 

If you are looking for something even more specific, simply add details to the text box. Some teachers like to include a specific grade level, subject area, or sections they need. 

These templates will even offer a time breakdown for each section. Like the free template above, this weekly template is fully customizable — whether you want to provide detailed instructions or just a few points, Brisk can adapt or change to your needs and ensure you are meeting students’ individual needs as well.
