Lesson Plans

The Lesson Plans website is a tool and resource center for anyone who delivers curriculum to students from kindergarten to grade 12. The educators include teachers, teacher aids, librarians, homeschoolers and pre-service educators. The resources can be found by lesson plan, by subject, by month, by grade level and by new lessons that have been published.

The Lesson Plans website was founded by Stephen Lyons in 1997. His ultimate goal was to create a source of information that all educators would find useful. He has worked with The Educators Network and as of 2009, he turned the website over to The Educators Network to continue the work. http://www.lessonplans.com/about/
