Features of a Lesson Plan
A lesson plan is a detailed plan that teachers create to guide daily instruction. It includes the learning objectives, activities, assessments, and instructional strategies to be used for each lesson. Lesson plans focus more specifically on the "how" of teaching, tailoring instruction to meet the needs of specific students. Teachers are typically responsible for creating their own lesson plans, adapting them to fit their classroom's unique needs, while making sure they are aligned with both the pacing guide and the curriculum map provided by the district.
Features of a Curriculum Map

Curriculum maps are usually created at the district level and are used by teachers when planning out their curriculum to ensure they're all on the same page.

It helps teachers stay on track by outlining when specific units or topics should be taught, making sure that all necessary content is covered throughout the year. Curriculum maps focus on the "what" of teaching, whereas pacing guides emphasize the "when." Pacing guides are used to help teachers manage instructional time effectively.
