This template offers a starting point for anyone who would like to feel more prepared when delivering trainings or teaching classes. This template builds off of the fundamentals of lesson plan development often used in K-6 environments and in informal education settings. Using this template, you will develop yourself a detailed, timed-to-the 5-minute-increments, and lightly or even heavily scripted plan for your instruction. Doing so helps you gauge whether you're trying to do too much in the time available to you. Using a planning process like this also provides you distinct blocks of time/activity that you can reconfigure on the fly if you need to shorten or expand activities to fit the available time. (Read more context about the reading list here.)
