Teacher resource

CBC lesson planning: the week has to exist before first period

A CBC lesson plan is not a form you fill for an inspector and never open again. It is the week, written so a substitute could almost teach it. Objectives that can be checked. Something for the learner who is ahead and the one who is not. A formative moment before the period ends.

Teacher resource, rewritten from the mykurasa.com guide for this site in September 2026. It is not a 60 Decibels percentage. Where a 60dB piece already covers the same weekday job, that piece is a see-also — the figures stay on that ledger.

The craft, shortened

Write the competency you mean. Design for engagement that is not a party trick. Differentiate without running three classrooms. Cross-curricular only when it is true. Inquiry when the question is real. Local examples. Assess while you teach. Let learners work together when the task needs more than one head. Use a device if it carries the scheme — not as decoration.

The study next door

Sixty Decibels found that 94 percent of interviewed teachers created digital lesson plans, and that lesson planning was why most of them had come. That sentence lives on CBC lesson planning is why most teachers open Kurasa. This how-to does not borrow the percentage. Stanley Kago, on camera in 2023: the game is won in the planning. That sentence lives on his portrait.

The product

Kurasa does not replace official schemes. It is a page for this class, this week. Open Workspace before first period. The inspectorate file, if one exists, should be able to read the same week.

A scheme open at 7:10am. Stanley Kago’s sentence still holds: the game is won in the planning.

Before first period

If it cannot be taught on Monday, it is not a plan.

Workspace for the page. The 60dB finding for the study. Kago for the sentence.
