Method and manufacture of lesson plans and classroom organizers utilizing computers and software

Claim 2

A computer implemented method for planning lessons which then produces specific required reports utilizing a relational database that has been programmed to perform detailed relationship analyses comprised of: (a) storing in the relational database school information to include holidays, non-teaching days, a student roster, classes and required class curriculum, and student information to include each students medical data and guardian, (b) developing a lesson plan for each class by: (i) selecting a length of a teaching period or the starting and ending date of the teaching period, (ii) identifying one or more texts to be used, the number of pages in a text or the number of pages to be taught, one or more teaching tasks to be taught in the teaching period, any required or suggested materials to be used in the teaching task, the methodology to be used in the teaching task, projected objectives, and an evaluation to determine the success of the teaching task, and (iii) allocating text pages and tasks to teaching days in the identified period; (c) periodically editing by storing actual progress allowing the computer to compare the actual progress to the lesson plan and to correct for any deviation from the lesson plan by modifying the lesson plan by reallocating the pages and tasks; (d) transferring information associated with one or more specific students to a second database for forming student rosters (e) storing a template that is prepared and formatted for each of the required reports; and (f) generating one of the required reports by retrieving the template prepared for the required report, processing the data and information contained in one of the databases into the template prepared for the required report, and printing the report.

Claim 3

The end of claim 1, wherein a user selects the step of allocating test pages be performed by either the computer automatically allocating an equal number of pages to be taught during each of the teaching days in the identified period or by manual entry.

Claim 4

The method of claim 1, wherein if the teaching task is quantified and can be represented by a percentage of completion the step of allocating tasks is automatically performed.

Claim 5

The method of claim 1, wherein external data and information is imported into the relational data from an external application.

Claim 6

The method of claim 1, wherein the data and information is exported for use in external applications.

Claim 9

The system of claim 6, wherein a user selects whether the allocating of text pages be performed by either the computer automatically allocating an equal number of pages to be taught during each of the teaching days in the identified period or by manual entry.

Claim 10

The system of claim 6, wherein if the teaching task is quantified and can be represented by a percentage of completion the allocating of tasks is automatically performed.

Claim 11

The system of claim 6, including a means for importing external data and information into the relational database from an external application.

Claim 12

The system of claim 6, including a means for exporting data and information for use in eternal applications.

Claim 13

A program product embodied on a computer readable storage medium containing program code operable for planning lessons and producing specific required reports utilizing a relational database that has been programmed to perform detailed relationship analyses comprised of: (a) program code for storing school information to include holidays, non-teaching days, a student roster, classes and required class curriculum; and student information to include each students medical data and guardian; (b) program code for developing a lesson plan for each class by: (i) selecting a length of a teaching period or the stating and ending date of the teaching period (ii) identifying one or more texts to be used, the nor of pages in a text or the number of pages to be taught, one or more teaching tasks to be taught in the teaching period and required or suggested materials to be used in the teaching task, the methodology to be used in the teaching task, projected objectives, and an evaluation to determine the success of the teaching task, and (iii) allocating text pages and tasks to teaching days in the identified period; (c) program code for periodically editing by storing actual progress allowing the computer to compare the actual progress to the lesson plan and to correct for any deviation from the lesson plan by modifying the lesson plan by reallocating the pages and tasks; (d) program code for transferring information associated with one or more specific students to a second database for forming student rosters; (e) program code for storing a template that is prepared and formatted for each of the required reports; and (f) program code for generating one of the required reports by relieving the template prepared for the required report, processing the data and information contained in one of the databases into the template prepared for the required report and printing the report.

Claim 14

A program product embodied on a computer readable storage medium containing program code operable for planning lessons and producing specific required reports utilizing a relational database that has been programmed to perform detailed relationship analyses comprised of: (a) program code for storing school information to include holidays, non-teaching days, a student roster, classes and required class curriculum; and student information to include each students medical data and guardian; (b) program code for developing a lesson plan for each class by: (i) selecting a length of a teaching period or the stating and ending date of the teaching period (ii) identifying one or more texts to be used, the nor of pages in a text or the number of pages to be taught, one or more teaching tasks to be taught in the teaching period and required or suggested materials to be used in the teaching task, the methodology to be used in the teaching task, projected objectives, and an evaluation to determine the success of the teaching task, and (iii) allocating text pages and tasks to teaching days in the identified period; (c) program code for periodically editing by storing actual progress allowing the computer to compare the actual progress to the lesson plan and to correct for any deviation from the lesson plan by modifying the lesson plan by reallocating the pages and tasks; (d) program code for transferring information associated with one or more specific students to a second database for forming student rosters; (e) program code for storing a template that is prepared and formatted for each of the required reports; and (f) program code for generating one of the required reports by relieving the template prepared for the required report, processing the data and information contained in one of the databases into the template prepared for the required report and printing the report.

Claim 15

The program product of claim 11, wherein a user selects whether the allocating of text pages be performed by either the computer automatically allocating an equal number of pages to be taught during each of the teaching days in the identified period or by manual entry.

Claim 16

The program product of claim 11, wherein if the teaching task is quantified and can be represented by a percentage of completion the allocating of tasks is automatically performed.

Claim 17
