Yearly plan ↔ Lesson

From yearly plan to ready lesson in one click

Lesson prep now links directly to yearly plan periods. Period chip on the lesson hub, coverage badge on the yearly plan, and AI seed that pre-fills the lesson from the period's curriculum aims. Built on Wiliam's (2018) backwards-design principle — plan from intended learning, not topics — and Hattie's (2012) teacher-clarity effect (d=0.84).

Period chip on the lesson

Each lesson shows which yearly plan period it belongs to — clear for both teacher and student.

Coverage badge on the plan

The yearly plan period shows how many lessons are already prepared toward the goal.

AI seed from period

AI pre-fills the lesson from the period's topics, aims and student level.

Curriculum coverage tracked

When the lesson is ready, coverage in the yearly plan updates automatically.

Auto-prefill

Click a period → create lesson → title, aims and duration are already filled in.

Two-way link

Jump from yearly plan to lesson and back — same planning loop.

Curriculum version-aware

The resolver handles both legacy and updated curricula per subject and year — teachers don't have to remember.

In the classroom

Subject teacher

Prep goes from blank screen to 80% filled in 5 seconds.

Subject team

Whole team sees which periods are missing lessons — no gaps.

School leader

Curriculum coverage per year group shows live — without asking the teachers.

For subject teachers and for school leadership

For subject teachers

Teachers escape the blank-screen problem: one click on a yearly plan period creates the lesson with title, learning aims, duration and suggested activities pre-filled. Marzano (2017) shows that this kind of scaffold — starting planning from the learning aim, not the topic — is the most robust predictor of pupil outcomes.

  • 80% filled in 5 seconds
  • AI builds on the period's curriculum aims
  • Two-way link — jump back and forth
For school leadership

Leadership gets coverage badges on every yearly plan period — making it visible whether a year group has gaps in curriculum coverage. Hattie's (2012) teacher-clarity effect (d=0.84) is large, but depends on coherent planning — this coupling guarantees every lesson directly references the yearly plan's learning aims.

  • Coverage badge per period per year group
  • Spot gaps before the parents' evening
  • Ready for the quality report — no extra work

Research base

The yearly-plan ↔ lesson coupling is grounded in international planning research and national curricula.
