Payment methods
These sample long term plans will save you countless hours as the content is already pre-populated, so instead of typing everything from scratch, you can simple edit it to suit. Suggested content to cover each month is provided for teachers who are new to a class level or for those who would like some new ideas, but you can easily change this to suit your own circumstances if you desire. Hyperlinks to where you can find useful resources such as poems and books are provided in many of the sample plans.
The sample plans are based solely on the Irish Primary School Curriculum and not on publishers’ schemes (The SPHE plan includes the Walk Tall, Stay Safe and RSE programmes for 1st class in the suggested content section.). If you are following a particular scheme/ textbook and wish to include the content from it in the plan, most publishers have a document with a monthly breakdown of their content as part of their online resources that you can simply include instead of the table suggesting when to cover material that is provided.
The sample plans use the terminology from the 2021 Guidance on Preparation for Teaching and Learning for all Primary and Special schools, and include the sections specified in the guidance. A document is included in your download which gives some detail about the new guidance and using these plans.

You will also receive your order within minutes of payment via automated email to the address which you provided. The email which you receive will include a download link to access the product. Ensure you download your product promptly and save it to your own computer to ensure you don't lose access in the future.

Yes, this download includes a PDF document with a link to open each plan in Google Docs. When you click this link, you will be asked to create your own copy of the document. You will need to open the document on a computer to do this, as it will open in read-only format on mobile phones.
Can you post me printed copies of my order?
All products are available as digital downloads only as they are designed to be edited by you to suit your individual class and students.
Do you offer returns?
As you will receive your download immediately, unfortunately returns/ refunds are not possible unless there is a problem with the product. All of the products have a detailed description as well as preview pictures, so you can be sure that the product is suitable for you before you purchase. If you have any questions about products, please feel free to email info@teachingplans.ie
Can I share my download with others/ my school?
Sharing your download with others is strictly prohibited as it is copyrighted material that you have purchased an individual licence for. You are free to edit teachingplans.ie resources that you have purchased for your own use, however reselling or distributing these works in whole or part is strictly forbidden.
Can I purchase plans with another teacher in my school who is teaching the same class level?/ Can we split the cost if we are both using them?
The cost of a product cannot be split amongst 2 teachers at the same class level. All downloads from teachingplans.ie constitute copyrighted material that and each purchase gives an individual licence for one teacher to use the resources. Where multiple teachers in a school are at the same class level and would like to use the same resource, an individual purchase is necessary for each teacher.
Can you create bespoke plans to suit our school/ my booklist/ the schemes I am using?
The short answer is no, and there are a number of reasons for this. The time it would take to create customised plans for every booklist and scheme out there would make it impossible, and the cost to reflect this would be too restrictive. There could also be issues with copyright if using publishers’ content.
Furthermore, our intention is to provide editable sample planning documents that you can easily and quickly customise for your individual class and whatever scheme you are using for different subjects. Much of the plans will remain the same regardless of whatever scheme you are using, and editing it to suit takes a fraction of the time that it would take to type everything from scratch. Editing the plans to suit is an important step for teachers to take in order to ensure they are familiar with the plans’ content as well as their suitability for their individual students.
We do provide suggested content and activities for teachers who are new to a class level or for those who would like some new ideas or who don’t rely on publisher’s schemes, but this section can be edited and you can take some or none of the ideas as desired. Also many publishers now have an outline of their scheme’s content as part of their digital resources, so if you wish, you can delete the suggested content provided and include the publisher’s outline with your planning documents instead.

ABNov 30, 2020, 20:44I am returning to teach in Ireland after a lengthy career break teaching abroad, so I was delighted to find such comprehensive long term plans for First Class. I am completely new to the newer curriculum, so i feel like these plans will help me to get settled back into teaching in Ireland. A lot of work has been put into making them.

Christopher LawlessMay 18, 2020, 15:17Super detailed and considered. Very helpful for someone like me who has spent much of their time in senior classes and support. Will definitely aid me in easing myself into a 1st class state of mind.
The plans are up to date and suit the books I will be using but can easily be edited to match the booklist you have set.
I look forward to using these in the coming year. -

I have first class plans from 5 years ago so this has given me the new up to date 2019 planning in English and Gaeilge and some great integration ideas and resources. I find them very user friendly and easy to adapt. This has saved me so much valuable time.
