Here's where Destinations can really come in handy. You can simply put in "'Destinations' tailored curriculum" and a list of the goals you've chosen. Could be the final group or the Academic finalists. Especially in the highschool years, the learner can choose what books, if any, are needed. Include some target dates for accomplishing certain goals, and you have acceptable lesson plans. That makes it easy.***END***SHAMELESS PROMOTION.
The reason people get nervous here, I think, is because they're not accustomed to writing lesson plans, or lesson plans like these, and especially not to have them evaluated by a professional who is accustomed to making lesson plans.
Truth is, in many school districts these forms will be reviewed by a secretary, not a teacher. And remember, this form is "received" by the district, not approved or enforced. So put down as little as you're comfortable with. If the forms are returned as "incomplete," add a little more. At some point, usually rather quickly, the district will get tired of asking. They have other, more pressing duties to attend to.
When the law was first passed, the Department of Education sent out instructions to school district secretaries on how to process these forms. In the section on lesson plans it said, "Any form of planning is acceptable." That letter is long filed away, but it remains Dept. of Ed. policy until something else suprecedes it. That should relieve some of the pressure about these "lesson plans."
