N1 - This work is based on observations made with the NASA/ESA/CSA JWST. The data were obtained from the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes at the Space Telescope Science Institute, which is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., under NASA contract NAS 5-03127 for JWST. These observations are associated with program #1355. The authors acknowledge that we developed this observing program with a zero-exclusive-access period. This work was supported in part by a Student-Innovative-Creative-Hands-on Project (SICHOP) grant awarded by the Ohio Space Grant Consortium. We especially thank James Muzerolle Page, Bernie Ruscher, and Ian Wong for helping us understand the NIRSpec residual detector noise issue. We thank our program coordinator Beth Perriello, and our science instrument reviewers Alberto Noriega-Crespo, Martha Boyer, and Alaina Henry. We thank Richard Shaw for showing us how to download JWST data from MAST via script. Support for JWST program #1355 was provided by NASA through a grant from the Space Telescope Science Institute, which is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., under NASA contract NAS 5-03127. We are grateful for the collective contributions of the approximately 20,000 humans around the world who designed, built, tested, commissioned, and operate JWST.

N2 - This paper gives an overview of Targeting Extremely Magnified Panchromatic Lensed Arcs and Their Extended Star formation (TEMPLATES), a JWST Early Release Science program that targeted four extremely bright, gravitationally lensed galaxies, two extremely dusty and two with low attenuation, as templates for galaxy evolution studies with JWST. TEMPLATES obtains a common set of spectral diagnostics for these 1.3 ≤ z ≤ 4.2 galaxies, in particular Hα, Paschen α, and the rest-frame optical and near-infrared continua. In addition, two of the four targets have JWST coverage of [O iii] 5007 Å and Hβ; the other two targets have JWST coverage of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon 3.3 μm and complementary Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array data covering the [C ii] 158 μm emission line. The science goals of TEMPLATES are to demonstrate attenuation-robust diagnostics of star formation, map the distribution of star formation, compare the young and old stellar populations, and measure the physical conditions of star formation and their spatial variation across the galaxies. In addition, TEMPLATES has the technical goal to establish best practices for the integral field units within the NIRSpec and MIRI instruments, both in terms of observing strategy and in terms of data reduction. The paper describes TEMPLATES’s observing program, scientific and technical goals, data reduction methods, and deliverables, including high-level data products and data reduction cookbooks.
