This paper presents our ongoing work for designing and implementing a web-based Lesson Plan Creator for pre-service credential candidates in special education programs. To help reduce the workload of credential candidates as well as improve their professional teaching skills, we have designed a lesson plan creator system with the idea of shortening the amount of time required for creating sound and evidence-based lesson plans. This web-based application utilizes the model-view-controller (MVC) model as its design pattern and applies advanced JavaServer Pages (JSP) technologies for system developing. Furthermore, this paper offers our usability test result, as well as our future plans for further development of this evolving system.
