Lesson Plan Websites

BY: Jennifer Sterling

This is a collection of what I feel is the best lesson plan sites out there. I was generally gearing my search for elementary level lesson plans but many of these sites have lesson plans up to twelth grade. I hope that you find it helpful in your search for a new creative way to teach the same old boring thing!

1. Discovery Education – This site is a wonderful resource for all teachers. Lessons can be found either by subject or grade. The lessons are very detailed and explained step by step. The thing that is unique about this site is that it lists a few featured lessons that can really get the creative lesson planning juices flowing.
