Lesson Preparation Checklist (MS Word Template)

What’s Included

  • A comprehensive lesson-preparation checklist to help you systematically plan each lesson.
  • Clearly defined sections: Learning Objectives, Materials, Teaching Strategies, Classroom Management, Assessment & Evaluation, Adaptations & Supports, Reflection & Follow-up, and more.
  • Editable fields so you can customize the template for different subjects, grade levels, or teaching styles.
  • Ready-to-use structure to save time, stay organized, and ensure nothing is overlooked while planning.

Why Use This Template

  • Streamlines your planning process — The checklist helps you break down lesson preparation into manageable, practical steps.
  • Ensures lesson quality — By covering all critical areas (objectives, materials, assessment, etc.), you can create more effective, well-rounded lessons.
  • Flexible & reusable — Perfect for daily lessons, unit planning, or substitute teacher use.
  • Easy to adapt — As an MS Word file, you can modify, duplicate, or expand the template based on your needs.
  • Great for reflection — The template includes a section for post-lesson reflection so you can continuously improve your teaching.

How to Use It

  1. Download the Word file.
  2. Open it in Microsoft Word or any compatible word processor.
  3. Fill in each section: write down your learning objectives, list materials, plan activities, and schedule assessments.
  4. Save each lesson plan with a systematic name (for example, “Lesson 01 – Fractions.docx”), so you can easily retrieve them later.
  5. After your lesson, use the reflection section to note what worked, what didn’t, and ideas for improvement.
  6. Reuse and duplicate the checklist for future lessons — tweak as needed to fit different topics or student groups.
