A week on one page

Press Print the lesson plan. Write each group's name and students in the first column, then a few words under each day the group meets. The same week comes with 3, 5 or 6 rows, and it works for any subject.

One group, math groups and intervention

For a single meeting, the one-group sheet has Skill, Materials and Steps lines and a row for a note on each student. The math sheet plans three groups on one page, and the tracker gives an intervention group a check column for each of six weeks.

Not every group meets every day: the sample marks those boxes On their own.
The one-group sheet keeps Note from today beside Next time, so the next meeting starts from the note.
