Lesson note and scheme of learning: the difference
A scheme of learning plans the whole term week by week. A lesson note details one lesson: the indicator you are teaching, what learners do in each phase, and how you will assess them. Most teachers write the scheme first and the lesson notes each week.

Questions people ask
- What goes into a lesson note in Ghana?
- Most lesson notes for the standards-based curriculum carry the week ending, day, subject, class, class size and duration, then the strand, sub-strand, content standard, indicators, performance indicators, core competencies, teaching and learning resources and references, followed by the lesson in three phases and an assessment. This tool lays all of that out for you.
- What are the three phases of a lesson?
- Phase 1 is the starter, where learners revise the last lesson and you share the performance indicators. Phase 2 is new learning, the main body of the lesson. Phase 3 is reflection, where learners recap what they learnt, often with questions. Your school may set the time for each phase.
- Where do I get the strand, content standard and indicators?
- From the NaCCA curriculum for your subject and class. The curriculum documents for KG, primary and JHS are published on the curriculum resources site. Copy them into the tool and add your own activities.
- Is this the official GES or NaCCA lesson note format?
- No. We are not GES or NaCCA. This is a common layout that matches the curriculum terms, and you can change any field. If your school uses its own format, download the Word file and adjust it.
- Does the tool save my lesson note or send it anywhere?
- It remembers your draft in this browser only. Nothing is sent to us. Use Clear when you start a new note, and a private window on a shared computer.
- Can I plan the whole term too?
- Yes. Use the scheme of learning generator to lay out every week of the term, then write each lesson note here.
