This article walks you through the full process of creating a lesson plan on Kurasa, from selecting a learning area to saving a complete CBC-compliant plan.
Before You Begin #
To create a lesson plan on Kurasa, ensure that:
- You are logged into your Kurasa workspace
- You have been assigned a subject or learning area
- Your academic calendar and classes are already set up
Lesson planning is done from the Teacher section of the platform.
Step-by-Step: Creating a Lesson Plan on Kurasa #
Step 1: Open the Lesson Planning Section #
From the main menu:
- Click on Lesson Plans under the Teacher section
- Select Create Lesson Plan
This opens the lesson planning workspace.
Step 2: Select the Learning Area and Lesson Date #
- Choose the learning area (subject) you want to plan for
- Select the week and date of the lesson
You cannot create lesson plans for past dates. This ensures lesson plans reflect actual teaching schedules.
Step 3: Confirm Lesson Timing #
- Select the start time of the lesson
- Choose the lesson duration
This helps align lesson planning with the school timetable.
Step 4: Select Strand and Substrand #
Once the learning area is selected:
- The CBC strands and substrands load automatically
- Choose the strand and substrand relevant to the lesson
This ensures the lesson is directly aligned with the CBC structure.
Step 5: Fill in Substrand Details #
You will now complete the core CBC lesson components, including:
- Learning experiences
- Specific learning outcomes
- Key inquiry questions
- Core competencies
These fields guide the lesson focus and learning intent.
Step 6: Write the Lesson Development #
The lesson development section is where the teacher explains how the lesson will be taught.
Here, describe:
- Introduction activities
- Main teaching and learning activities
- Learner engagement methods
- Conclusion or wrap-up activities
This section is written in your own words and reflects your teaching approach.
Step 7: Add Optional Lesson Information #
Additional fields may be available, such as:
- Teaching and learning resources
- Assessment methods
- Reflection notes
These fields are optional but useful for deeper lesson documentation.
Step 8: Save the Lesson Plan #
Once all required fields are filled:
- Click Save
If any mandatory field is missing, the system will prompt you to complete it before saving.
After saving, the lesson plan is stored in your lesson plans list and can be viewed, reused, shared, or evaluated later.
