The MCS TEM and "Teach" Rubric requires specific teacher behaviors to be exhibited during daily instruction. In order to ensure that all indicators of the TEM “Teach” Rubric are implemented at a high level, teachers will have to carefully plan teaching sequences that deliberately focus on these indicators. An aligned lesson plan template will be critical in focusing on the indicators during the planning process.

This is an opportunity for you to voice your ideas about the format of the new lesson plan template. Please take a few moments to share your thoughts. A committee of educators will use this data to draft and recommend a new district lesson plan template for all grade levels. Thank you so very much for participating.
