There is no required format or template for edTPA learning segment lesson plans, although each lesson plan may be a maximum of four pages in length. All lesson plans do need to include the following elements, however:
- State-adopted student academic content standards that are the target of student learning (Note: Please include the number and text of each standard that is being addressed. If only a portion of a standard is being addressed, then only list the part or parts that are relevant.)
- Learning objectives associated with the content standards
- Formal and informal assessments used to monitor student learning, including type(s) of assessment and what is being assessed
- Instructional strategies and learning tasks (including what you and the students will be doing) that support diverse student needs
- Instructional resources and materials used to engage students in learning

Pacific University faculty have developed a number of lesson plan templates for student use that align with the edTPA (Note: Some lesson plan templates contain extra elements for use with pedagogical methods courses): Lesson plan templates.
