Lesson Planning

Lesson Planning keeps a school's academic plan in one place: the scheme of studies for every class and subject, the lesson plans teachers write against it, the approval of those plans, how much of the syllabus each section has actually covered, and which teachers have submitted their plans for the week. Everything is under New → Lesson Planning.

1. Scheme of Studies

New → Lesson Planning → Scheme of Studies

1. Pick the campus, session, class, subject and term (or "Whole session"), then New scheme.
2. Add the units (chapters) in teaching order, and under each unit its topics. For each topic enter the planned periods and, optionally, the week it should be taught in (week 1 = the week of the scheme's start date).
3. Save. To reuse the same scheme for another campus, class or session, tick it and choose Copy.

Coverage percentages are weighted by planned periods, so a 6-period topic counts six times as much as a 1-period one. If you give the scheme a start date and give topics a week, the coverage report also shows how much should be covered by today.

Watch out: a topic that is already used in a lesson plan or marked taught cannot be deleted from the scheme — rename it instead, or remove it from those plans first.

2. Lesson Plans

New → Lesson Planning → Lesson Plans

1. New plan: choose the class, section, subject and teacher, the date (or date range) and the number of periods.
2. Tick the scheme topics this plan covers, then fill in the objectives, methodology / activities, resources, assessment and homework. If the homework is already in the Student Diary, link that diary entry instead of typing it again.
3. Save keeps the plan as a Draft. When it is ready, tick it and Submit for approval.
4. After the lesson, tick the plan and Mark taught with the date: its topics are then counted as covered for that section.
5. Print week prints every plan of a class-section, or of one teacher, for the chosen week on one page.

Drafts and returned plans can be edited or deleted. A submitted plan waits for review; an approved plan is locked — ask the reviewer to return it if it needs changing.

3. Lesson Plan Approvals

New → Lesson Planning → Lesson Plan Approvals

Lists submitted plans. Open one to read it, then Approve it, or Return it with a comment telling the teacher what to change. A comment is required when returning — a return without a reason teaches nothing. Several plans can be approved at once by ticking them.

4. Syllabus Coverage

New → Lesson Planning → Syllabus Coverage

One row per class-section and subject: topics covered out of topics planned, the coverage %, the expected % by today (when the scheme has dates), how far behind the section is, and the teachers assigned to it. A second table rolls coverage up per teacher. Open a row to see every topic with the date it was taught; you can tick topics covered here directly if your school does not write lesson plans for them.

5. Plan Compliance

New → Lesson Planning → Plan Compliance

Pick a week. For each teacher it lists the class-subjects they teach (from HRM → Assign Classes) and whether a plan was submitted for each one that week: submitted, approved, still in draft, or missing. Tick teachers and choose Remind to record a reminder for that week.

Watch out: a reminder is a record on this screen only — no SMS, WhatsApp or app notification is sent. A teacher with no classes assigned in HRM → Assign Classes does not appear, so keep those assignments up to date.

Who can do what

Each of the five screens is a separate privilege, so a school can let teachers write plans while only the principal or academic coordinator can approve them. Every list shows only the campuses the user is allowed to see.

Finding enabled modules

The New menu is between General and Core. It appears only when at least one new module is enabled for your institute, and shows only enabled modules. Your user privileges still control which screens you can open. Ask EDUBase support about enabling a module.
