New Choices for Lesson Plans

Continuing our release of the new PDF lesson plan formats, we've had some feedback that's fallen into two camps. Some therapists like the new PDF format and want even more detailed information, while others want less information that's more high-level so that they only have to print a couple pages. Both points are valid, and we didn't see any way forward that would make both groups happy with one format.  Instead, we've decided to do both. Over lunchtime today (September 15, 2009), we'll be releasing a new version of the codebase that gives you two choices for how you want to print your lesson plan. Here's a screenshot of the new day planner view:



You can see there are now two buttons for printing where there used to be one.  The "Detailed" lesson plan gives a place for in-time and out-time, and for quantitative progress, with a big space below for notes.  The "Condensed" lesson plan (created with input from Carrie Key (Special School District)), is more compact, containing just goal information, with a space for notes next to it, hopefully cutting down on the number of pages.  Have more ideas for how to refine these formats to be even better?   Let us know in the comments!
