Lesson Stack helps you design clear teaching activities
Organise your activities into a lesson plan
Lesson Stack's easy to follow timeline to keeps you on track
Whatever you teach - whether it's roller skating or algebra - you need three things: an objective, an activity and a check for understanding.
Traditionally, lesson plans have a section at the top for objectives and a section in the middle for activities and assessments
On Lesson Stack things are a little different: we keep the objective the activity and the check for understanding together in one bite size chuck of teaching, called an activity.
When you think and plan in terms of bite size chunks of teaching, it makes it much easier to plan, re-use and improve your work.

Students will learn how to follow a recipe and bake a cake
In this activity, students will follow the attached recipe and bake a cake.
There will be a demonstration by the teacher, followed by practical work by students.
Students should supply their own cooking ingredients
The teacher will taste the mixture at key points in the process, and taste the final product ...mmm cake!
When you write a lesson plan, do you start with the objectives and work down?
Lesson Stack has a different approach.
On lesson stack, you create activities with an objective and a check for understanding already built in.
That means when you create a lesson plan, you simply stack your activities into a timeline - done!
Working like this adds something special to the planning process - clarity.
On lesson stack, everything you teach in the classroom is a complete piece of teaching
With Lesson Stack, your lesson plan doesn't just help you plan - it's designed to be taken into the classroom.
Lesson Stack presents you with a clear, easy to follow timeline, so your lesson always stays on track.
On Lesson Stack, it's easy to share activities and inspire teachers everywhere.
That means the activities you create have the potential to inspire not just the students you see in your classroom, but teachers and students in classrooms all over the world.
Do you ever hope that next year will finally be the one where you can shed some of that admin and start re-using your old lesson plans?
Do you find that, somehow, that year never quite arrives?
Modules, technologies and requirements change, and lesson plans become obsolete.
To make things harder, traditional lesson plans are not designed to be refined and re-used.
Lesson Stack is different.
Lesson Stack is built with the expectation that you will re-use and refine the things you teach over time.
On Lesson Stack, an activity is a living, changing thing that can be tweaked and improved to suit your needs.
And when your activities include an objective, an activity and a check for understanding, there's no need to change the rest of the lesson plan - simply add and remove actitivies as you need them.
When you work in discreet instances of teaching, you'll find that building on your hard work is much easier.
