Description
The original 5-Minute Lesson Plan, first published on TeacherToolkit in 2007, changed how many teachers approached planning — practical, visual, research-informed and grounded in classroom reality. As schools now respond to rising SEND needs, neurodiversity and mental health complexity, a new question matters:
How can we plan access as deliberately as we plan content?
What inspired this resource?
- Classroom reality: Teachers need practical ways to plan for the learners in front of them.
- Cognitive science: Working memory, attention and processing time shape access to learning.
- Neurodiversity: Learners think, feel, focus and respond differently.
- Teacher workload: Inclusion must be manageable, not another planning burden.
- Ethical teaching: High expectations mean designing better routes into learning.
From bolt-on to built-in: This resource helps teachers design cognitive, emotional and sensory access before the lesson begins.
