There are many places to look online for drama teaching resources. Many people will share on websites such as TES (http://www.tes.co.uk/). However, it can be difficult to find quality materials quickly.
With the recent enlightened changes to US arts standards (http://nccas.wikispaces.com/About+Us), I have been looking further a field for resources related to assessment as well as teaching and learning.
For some time Ontario has been leading the way in curriculum development for the arts (http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/curriculum/elementary/arts18b09curr.pdf). Following my nose in this direction I came across the Council of Ontario Drama and Dance Educators (CODE, http://code.on.ca/resource). The resources on offer cover students across all years.
One resource that I would recommend is this lesson on Laban: http://code.on.ca/resource/acting-course-profile#section-3. Having taught a range of skills related to Laban in drama lessons I was excited to find further areas to explore. I was particularly impressed with the depth and range of questioning.
The model of lesson planing appears similar to the UbD model (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Understanding-Design-Guide-Creating-High-Quality/dp/1416611495) which I have found very useful when structuring programmes of study.
