About Lesson Plan
Lesson plan is one of the most useful modules to track your school's academic status by monitoring subject syllabus status in percentage. Every class section teaches subjects. Subjects are based on a syllabus, which contains lessons / chapters / units, and each lesson / chapter / unit contains topics; further, a topic may also contain sub-topics.
A lesson plan is basically what a teacher will teach in a class – section for a particular day and period. Through lesson plans, teachers can divide the subject syllabus lessons and topics across different periods over the span of the academic session. Lesson plans are also very useful for students to check what they will study in upcoming periods or what they have learned in past periods, so for best practice, teachers should create their lesson plans at least one week in advance.
In a lesson plan, you can also upload class lecture recordings and attach teaching material.
Lesson Plan Module Workflow: First, we will add all lessons under a subject and then we will add all topics under a lesson and then we will add the lesson plan for the selected period from the teacher's timetable and then we can mark the subject lesson topic as complete, and after that, finally, we can check the lesson plan reports.
