Teachers spend a lot of their own time and resources in to lesson planning. This is usually done out of the classroom and many teachers say that although they get a bit of planning time (also known as PPA) in the classroom this is nowhere near enough to allow for the planning and marking that needs to be done.

Many teachers share lesson plans and resources that have worked well for them in order to assist other teachers. This can save teachers a lot of time and make lesson planning an easier process.

There are a number of places to look for ideas and resources for lesson plans and much of this is online. Sites such as Twinkl have a number of packs available for you to download, some of which are free and others that require an active subscription. Most schools will be happy to sign up to something such as this for their teachers to use to assist with lesson planning, so if you are a teacher and your school doesn’t already use such sites, speak to them about registering.
