writing a lesson plan in Nairobi

A lesson plan that cannot see the timetable and the holiday master will assign work on a closed day.

Schools do not fail because teachers cannot write objectives. They fail when plans live in personal drives disconnected from the class the register uses. Nairobi still has to do this against KICD, CBC Kenya, KNEC, IGCSE. January term is the national default; international overlays must still share working days. Named facts: KICD, CBC Kenya, Kenya Shilling, January term.

Kenya Shilling tuition and transport; CBC Kenya stage changes should not silently clone fee structures. Named facts: KICD, CBC Kenya, Kenya Shilling, January term. Named owners still have to keep the holiday master, the roster, and the family view aligned in this place, because a brochure paragraph will not survive the first mid-year joiner or the first board week.

  • Planning on a generic Monday–Friday file.
  • Homework due dates that ignore closures.
  • A scheme of work nobody can export with the class list.

Start from the published grid

The class and period already exist. The plan hangs off that, not a parallel list.

Respect working days

If the holiday master moved the day, the plan moves or it is fiction.

Keep evidence retrievable

Inspection and coordinators will ask what was taught, not for a screenshot of a slide.

Do not mix schemes

IB inquiry and a national chapter list can share a teacher, not a mashed template.

Questions

Does software write the lesson? No. Teachers write it. Software keeps it on the class that actually meets.

What about substitutes? Cover is a policy on the published grid, not a second plan in chat. Named facts: KICD, CBC Kenya, Kenya Shilling, January term.
