Special Class Recorded Preparation (Planning) Pack

Planning for a special class can be overwhelming, especially as more documentation is required than for mainstream, and learning needs are frequently wide ranging with children from a mix of class levels. This Special Class Recorded Preparation Bundle brings together all of TeachingPlans.ie’s essential special class planning tools and templates in one convenient, discounted package, saving you time, money, and stress.

When purchased individually, these resources cost €46, but with this bundle, you’ll pay just €36 for everything you need to help get your planning for the year off to a smooth start.

What’s Included in the Bundle:

• Our Special Class Timetable Guide & Example – Practical guidance and sample timetable to help you structure your school day effectively. For more details, view the individual product listing here.

• Long-Term Subject Recorded Preparation Templates & Examples – Editable templates and completed examples aligned with the curriculum to support long-term planning for each subject. For more details, view the individual product listing here.

• Short-Term Recorded Preparation Templates, Guide & Completed Examples – Everything you need to create clear, concise short-term plans that meet Department of Education guidance. For more details, view the individual product listing here.

• Special Class School Support Plus (SSP+) Plan Example – A detailed example to guide target-setting and individualised planning for each child in your class. For more details, view the individual product listing here.

• Cuntas Míosúil Templates & Completed examples for Special Class Teachers – Editable templates and examples to make monthly reporting simple and efficient. For more details, view the individual product listing here.

Important to Note:
Because every special class is different, with pupils often spanning multiple class levels and a wide range of learning needs, it is not possible to create ready-to-use plans that would suit every variation. Instead, this bundle provides templates, completed examples, and detailed guidance so you can create professional, tailored plans that meet the unique needs of your pupils while staying aligned with Department of Education requirements.

While the completed examples in this bundle are based on specific scenarios — for example, the SSP+ plan is for a child in an autism class, one short-term plan is for a Junior special class (Infants–2nd Class) with wide-ranging needs, one long-term plan is for the Primary Mathematics Curriculum (PMC) for 3rd–6th Class, and another long-term plan is for Music in a Junior special class — the templates and planning formats are fully applicable across all special class designations and class levels. The examples simply demonstrate how the templates can be used; teachers will adapt them to suit their own class context, learning needs, and curriculum focus.

Why Choose the Bundle?

• Access practical, ready-to-use templates and completed examples

• Get clear, structured guidance for long-term, short-term, and monthly planning

• Reduce workload and stay organised throughout the school year

This bundle is ideal for special class teachers, new and experienced alike, who want clear, professional, and time-saving planning tools at a discounted price.
