Item #P2

This comprehensive planning guide offers Montessori upper elementary teachers tools for managing the difficult work of curriculum planning, beginning-of-the-year planning, and day-to-day management of student papers and records. Clear explanations of many useful forms, as well as completed samples, help to make organizing clear and easy. Teachers receive master forms to use in their classrooms, as well as a CD containing the forms, to allow for individualization as needed. This packet is helpful to both the new teacher and the teacher seeking to re-organize and lighten the burden of planning.

Included in the set are three components, each with detailed instructions and accompanying forms:

• Curriculum Planning -- cultural curriculum planning, monthly focus, weekly lesson planning

• Beginning of Year Planning - student supply list, letter to parents, student orientation, student portfolio

• Class Processes -- student assignment book, work reminder poster, collection of completed work, recording of daily student progress, homework, quarterly progress reports, summary progress report
