INTRODUCTION
According to dictionary, yearly plan is a written script which planed for future. Every school board as its own idea as to how to write a yearly plan and within those districts, every principal has his or her own ideas and thisyearly plan is basic guide for new teachers to help them over the rough first year. It may not be perfect, but it's a start...Yearly planning is the most timesaving strategy for teaching, and the most cost-effective strategy for providing automated support for teachers. Yearlong plan is intended to give us an overview of our curriculum at a glance. It can also help teachers to stay on track in days and each month. . Time spent in planning pays teachers back more time than they spend. This makes the investment in planning time more profitable than an investment in money.
