Do I need to have a printed lesson plan ready if my principal shows up to observe my teaching?

An evaluator cannot demand that a teacher provide a hard copy of the day’s lesson plan on the spot. When observing a lesson, a supervisor has the right to see the plan of the lesson being taught. The supervisor may take a photo of the plan or ask that the teacher provide the plan at a later time. However, requiring teachers to make and maintain a copy of each of their lesson plans for every class in the event of an unannounced visit is not permitted.
