Batch planning involves creating multiple lesson plans in one focused session rather than planning day-by-day. Set aside 2-3 hours weekly, plan an entire unit or week at once, use consistent templates, and leverage AI tools to generate multiple plans quickly. This approach ensures coherent instruction, reduces daily planning stress, and frees up time during the week for other priorities.
Key Points

- Plan entire units or weeks at once
- Use consistent templates across lessons
- Leverage AI to generate multiple plans quickly
- Prepare materials for the whole batch
