A technical writer alone wouldn't be suitable hence we have a community for
anything more that's needed and I think the idea is the technical writer
could create a
template of sorts that any teacher can base any of their lesson plans .etc.
on as that seems
easier as it enables the teacher setup what they want with a frame of
reference.
