About the Kompakt framework
Not every lesson needs a complex framework. The Simple Lesson Plan Template strips planning down to its core elements: what students will learn, what you need, what you'll do, and how you'll know it worked.
When simplicity wins: Experienced teachers often find that elaborate templates slow them down without adding value. A simple template works beautifully for straightforward lessons, substitute teacher plans, quick daily planning, and situations where you already have a clear vision of the lesson flow.
The essential elements: Every lesson plan, regardless of complexity, needs four things: a clear learning objective, materials and preparation notes, a step-by-step procedure, and some form of assessment. This template provides exactly that.
Making it your own: The beauty of a simple template is its flexibility. You can add notes about differentiation, jot down key questions, or include time estimates — but none of that is required.
For substitute teachers: Simple templates are ideal for sub plans. A substitute needs to quickly understand the objective, find the materials, follow the procedure, and check for understanding.
This template keeps things clean and practical — just fill in the blanks and teach.
