A starting point you can use right away

The first slide can make it clear what students will be thinking about, not just doing. This free tool draws from curated instructional routines and structured templates. It does not analyze classroom video, observe a real lesson, independently verify your rubric, or predict your evaluation rating.

Review the output against your standards, the needs of your students, and your district's current observation framework. If you want a complete lesson package rather than one free planning aid, that option is available after your result is created.
