A TIP is a Teacher Information Pack: everything you need to know about a year group or course, on one page. Type what you teach, like Year 4 maths or KS3 science, and press Get my TIP. There are packs for England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the US and international courses.

Each pack shows what's taught, the key vocabulary and the curriculum statements, with links to the official documents. Tick the statements you've taught. Your ticks are saved in this browser, so they're there next time.

To plan a lesson, press Plan next to a statement, or tick a few and press Plan a lesson from ticked. The Lesson Plan Maker opens with the statements, subject and year already filled in. You can print the pack too, ticks and all.

Try Get a TIP now at lessonplanner.info. It's free, and you don't need an account.
