CPALMS Lesson Plan Development Initiative

Through the CPALMS Lesson Plan Development Initiative (LPDI), Florida educators are developing high-quality, standards-aligned instructional resources for publication on CPALMS. This growing collection of original lesson plans represents Florida educators’ best work. All the components of a very thorough lesson plan can be accessed with just a few simple clicks through this page and through the iCPALMS web apps. The lesson plans developed through the LPDI use a backward design approach that helps teachers to think about standards-driven instruction with the end in mind. The lessons are aligned with the instructional shifts in the math and ELA standards and offer a fresh and engaging approach to the content. The assessment pieces are thorough and usually include a learning scale, rubric, or answer key, and in some cases samples of student work. Each submitted lesson is reviewed by facilitators, peer educators from across the state, and subject area experts prior to publication on CPALMS. This review cycle provides feedback to the participants and ensures that the best quality lessons are created and shared.
