Lesson plans and schemes

Lesson planning in ShuleOne replaces the paper file that gets signed at the start of term and never looked at again. Plans are written against the subject and class the teacher is allocated to, submitted for approval, and visible to the head of department for the whole term.

Go to Academics → Lesson Plans, or All Lesson Plans for the school-wide view.

Writing a plan

Select Add New, choose the subject and class, then record:

Field	Notes
Week and lesson	Where the lesson sits in the term.
Strand / topic	The syllabus area covered.
Specific outcomes	What learners should be able to do by the end. Write these as observable actions.
Key inquiry question	For CBC plans.
Learning experiences	What happens in the lesson, in sequence.
Resources	Materials, texts, apparatus.
Assessment	How you will know the outcome was reached.
Reflection	Completed after teaching.

Save as a draft while you are working on it, and submit when it is ready.

Approval

Submitted plans go to the head of department or the deputy for academics, who can approve them or send them back with a comment. The list shows the status of every plan, so the gaps in a term’s planning are visible without collecting files.

Coverage

The school-wide view is where planning becomes useful rather than administrative. Filter by class or subject to see:

• Which weeks have plans and which do not.
• Whether a subject is running ahead of or behind the scheme.
• Which plans have reflections completed — the ones that were actually taught from.

Practical advice

• Plan the term, not the lesson. Writing all of a term’s plans at once, then adjusting weekly, is much less work than starting from a blank form every Sunday.
• Copy forward. A plan from last year for the same class and topic is a good starting point; open it, adjust it and save it against the new term.
• Fill in the reflection. It takes a minute after the lesson and is the only part that improves next year’s plan.
