A Note from the Author:
“I created this plan book after being 4MAT trained and as I began to implement this process in my classroom. The 4MAT Method was working great but my materials were all over the place. I needed a tool for organizing my daily lessons in a way that meshed well with the 4MAT Instructional Cycle. I found myself drawing small wheels on my plan book and stuffing handouts and lesson plans into an already bulging spiral binder. So, I decided to create a 4MAT Plan Book to help organize my work.”
This plan book is the ideal replacement for multi subject lesson plan books that many teachers use. With it, teachers can create and track daily lessons and 4MAT units, helping teachers to help monitor how well lessons are addressing the key elements of instruction.
The 4MAT Lesson Planner includes a weekly planner with the 4MAT cycle displayed on the corner of each class period. The teacher can mark where the lesson falls on the wheel for that day. For instance on Monday, a teacher may teach the CONNECT (1R) ATTEND, (1L) and IMAGE (2R) steps of lesson then work on the INFORM (2L) section on Tuesday through Thursday. The 4MAT Planner lets teachers know exactly where they are on the cycle on every day of the week.
The 4MAT Planner also includes a number of other resources for helping teachers master the art of instruction, including:
- Laminated 4MAT Wheels
- Extensive Tutorials and Guidance in 4MAT Unit Development
- Suggested Activites for Helping Reach Out to More Students
The "How to create a lesson" section includes sample ENGAGE activities to help teachers better understand how to create a 4MAT unit.
This resource is not only good for teachers, but administrators as well.
Administrators are always seeking to get more time in the classroom to help provide suggestions for teachers on how to improve instructiom. The 4MAT Planner helps teachers understand where teachers are in the insrtructional process and improves their abilty to do effective classroom observations. Teachers and administrators will instantly know on what part of the cycle the teacher is working on any given day.
I sincerely hope you and your colleagues find this instrument as useful as I have. It has made my life a lot easier, and I hope it will help you too!
Sincerely,
Tiffany Lynanne Insalaco
