Universal Lesson Planning Tools ©

Orientation

Universal Lesson Planning Tools are a series of completed, monthly lesson plans designed for a full year to support your research based curriculum and offer a user friendly framework for new and seasoned teachers who care for Infants and Toddlers.

Universal Lesson Planning Tools can be used as a practical learning tool and offer multiple advantages for teachers. Lesson plans are ready to use and individualize. Intentional and responsive caregiver activities and strategies are integrated throughout the plans and include developmentally appropriate themes, play and learning activities for children 0-36 months.

Universal Lesson Planning Tools support “Best Practice” for Infants and Toddlers and include tips and strategies based on sound child development principles and WestEd’s nationally acclaimed Program for Infant Toddler Care (PITC) Philosophy of Care. The plans are prepared for the following age groups:

Young and Non Mobile Infants 0 -12 months

Mobile infants 12- 24 months

Older Toddlers 24- 36 months

Each set of plans includes 12 monthly themes; August through September of each year.

Universal Lesson Planning Tools can be downloaded, adapted and individualized to meet the goals and needs of typically developing children including children with special needs and disabilities.

We offer an online community blog for Infant Toddler practitioners to discuss and share ideas related specifically to Infant Toddler program design and curriculum development.

Testimony:

The Infant/Toddler Curriculum developed by Patricia Hillman is an excellent tool to plan age and developmentally appropriate activities for very young children. The curriculum has a clear and easy to follow structure, and makes activity planning effortless. The lesson plan format is based on holistic approach to infant/toddler development, and designed to plan group and individual activities reflective of the outcome of individual child assessments. I highly recommend this tool to child development professionals working with infants and toddlers.
