I came across this folder of lesson plan templates that are freely available on the web. As there is no one size fits all solution to lesson planning I thought these might be of use a reference tool in creating a lesson plan to best meet your needs. If you have any other suggestions to add please feel free to email them through.

Microsoft have really started to reinvest some time into education again over the last 12 months and today I came across this great collection of teaching templates for Microsoft office. Nearly 400 of them. they cover a mixture of purposes from classroom displays through to academic calendars, grade trackers and bookmarks for students and I guarantee nearly every teacher will find a couple of things here that would be of use to them.
I would love to hear of any great templates you use in you teaching
As a quick update to this article in 2022. Jenny Eather’s great site has been sold and does not exist as it once did. If you are looking for an equally good alternative, I strongly recommend literacyideas.com. It provides everything writingfun once did and more for free. You will not be disappointed.

Jenny Eather's Writing Fun is a brilliant tool for any English teacher. It contains step-by-step instructions on constructing all significant text types, such as persuasive, explanatory, narrative and so on and has loads of examples from students to share on your interactive whiteboard.
It also contains various planning tools and aids to help your students get the most from their writing sessions. Entirely simply, this is my number one pick for writing resources and I strongly recommend you check it out here.
