A classroom teacher may not be required to make lesson plans available to parents or students.
A classroom teacher may not be required to include any of the following in his or her lesson plans:
- Teach and re-teach strategies
- Write to learn activities
- Cultural diversity
- Color coding
- Listing content standards
- Any other similar items which are not required to serve as a guide to the teacher or substitute for daily instruction
Any of the items that are prohibited as requirements above can only be offered as suggestions.
Additionally, classroom teachers must be free of unnecessary paper work so that they can focus their time on instruction. Therefore, classroom teachers may not be required to keep records or logs of routine contacts with parents or guardians.
