That would be a good future video, "How to write lesson objectives and success criteria based on a standard. "

[lisaingram]

As a veteran teacher I really appreciate all the tips and tricks I've picked up from you. You are bringing renewed excitement back into career. Thank you for that!

Unit planning is a life changer. It's how I plan all of my lessons now and I just store them and reuse them. It cuts my lesson planning down so much.

[luciamacias]

As a new teacher, I really appreciate your videos. I'm working as an ESL teacher and while it's been really fun, it can also be really challenging. With your tips and tricks I was able to correctly and quickly plan my lessons while keeping it stress-free! THANK YOU.

I love it! I've been teaching for over 20 years, but things were getting cluttered. I've watched this video 4 times and I get something more out of it every time! Thanks for sharing!

[leahferrell]

This came just in time! I am an aspiring teacher/elementary education major in my last year. I was starting to get overwhelmed thinking about how I can organize all of the digital files related to specific plans in my future classroom. Thank you for this, well-organized resource and explanation!

[kaitlynekramer]

THANK YOU for sharing this resource! I've always had materials stored digitally in my google drive but this is such a good way to see everything visually all at once!

I never considered a lesson unit template, BUT I just recently created a template for my daily lessons, and my today Lupita is REALLY grateful to my 2 or 3 months ago Lupita for having done so. Unit templates might be a summer project. 🤔

I love how versatile all of your templates are. As a middle school French teacher, I can definitely see myself using this and I will be grabbing it today! The World Language Standards are being revised in my state and implemented in the Fall of 2023. This template will be PERFECT to plan those units with the new themes/standards. You just made my life so much easier! I purchased your label templates from your TPT store and use them all the time to organize my bins in my classroom! Best $5 I have spent. Even though you taught elementary school, I want you to know that your tips, tricks and hacks work for any subject or level. I have learned so much from your channel and I have evolved as a teacher since I discovered you in 2020 (You saved me during the lockdown and virtual teaching). I also LOVE that hack for inserting chips. I never knew this before. Thank you again for another great video! I can't wait until next week!

Michelle, this is awesome! Thank you for putting this together. 18 years of teaching and this is one of the very best “teacher treasures” I’ve ever seen. It’s all together in one place. 🙌🏻 You’re awesome! Keep the helpful videos coming.

Hi, Michelle! I feel like your video proves that anxiety levels related to lesson planning decrease when we prepare using a template that can be reused and tweaked every year based on specific needs of students. As educators, sometimes we feel we need to reinvent the wheel due to pressures from the district or keeping up with the illusion that being busy means being effective. Using a template is definitely a way to work smarter, not harder. I think it is also a beneficial way to model efficient use of time for our students. We give them graphic organizers, charts, templates, etc. to give them a guideline to start working and to complete assignments in a timely manner. Thank you, as always, for continuing to encourage and inspire educators to be their best personal self and professional self. Have an amazing weekend! 💜

Love that you are doing teacher videos again 😊

[MaryDHazel-qbvt]

Wow! This.Is.Awesome!😊Thanks for helping me become a better teacher, Michelle.

[MotherhasSpokenNow]

Thank you for posting this video! I just downloaded this file today and I am planning for a new unit, and this has helped me so much! Thank you for this, and all of your content is great! Have a great rest of your week!

[blueskies]

Great idea! Jumping back into teaching after a 4 year break and lesson planning with very limited time stresses me out. Thank you for the support! ❤

[jackalex]

Back again! Always so excited for Michelle’s videos! ❤

[missa]

I your lesson plan template. I sent my student teacher to get a copy and showed her how to write a good plan. My mentee even loves your template!

[wendyrobinson]

Oh I am so glad to see a teaching video from you again!! This old teacher picked up a few tricks. I am definitely stealing the horse and fly idea. I’m also sending this to my daughter because if I were to be starting again, I would use this template to grow my lessons! Thank you so much!!

[isabelmarisy]

I love your videos! Thank you for helping to make my stressful life a little easier.

[alexandrayoung]

Thank you! This sparked an idea for me. I love helping people find resources in my school. Our materials are all given to us but are not always easy to locate. I'm thinking I'll create a one pager of links to each of the resources and curriculum that we use and share the link out for all of the newer teachers.
