Develop a Standards Document:
![Page 10: `Start to Finish: Thematic Unit Planning](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051522/588da72d1a28ab835b8b5200/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
During the planning process:
• Talk to general education teachers.
• Become familiar with the standards. Make sure you know what the standard means. (ex: Ocean and Oceania)
• Do a web search.
• Hang out on Pinterest.
• The planning sheet is dynamic. Jot down additional ideas as you plan and collaborate with others.

During the planning process:
• Brainstorm with paras, OT, PT, SLP etc......... Greater staff "buy in" equals more FUN.
• Create materials
• Develop lesson plans and timeline.
• Adapt plans as needed through ongoing assessment of student progress.
• Plan with the end in mind. What would you like the student(s) to be able to do at the end of the instructional unit?
