We have to do lesson plans AND a "Unit Organizer" (thanks Raise Up Texas for the extra work). Our lesson plans have to be highly detailed with specific TEKS, the amount of time we are spending on each task, learning targets, success starters, exit tickets, randomized questioning strategies, high level questions, re-teach strategies, etc. It takes longer that the hour the poster below stated (according to our admin it should take three conference period to complete - they actually have a timeline on how it should be done). Luckily, we figured out a system for it that literally takes seconds. I just change the date each week and resubmit the same lesson plan. I've made the agenda so vague that it works for the entire year. Each week I get feedback on it that I have met the lesson plan expectations. Even the UO is the same except for the "schedule" where I have to change the dates. That takes about five minutes every three weeks.
