LESSON PLAN AND LESSON NOTE

It is mandatory for teachers to plan their classes ahead of time. This

could be done weekly, Monthly or termly.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LESSON PLAN AND LESSON NOTE

A Lesson plan is a set of action which a teacher expects to teach a
class to attain the set objectives of the class without unnecessary
details. On the other hand a lesson note according to legit (2020) is a
detailed explanation of the steps/action or a reminder of what a teacher
should do. It is simply a guide or a step by step plan for a class that a
teacher plans to teach. Differences are shown below.

1. While lesson plan is on long term preparation for teaching, a lesson

note is on short term preparation.
2. The lesson note is more detailed than the lesson plan.
3. Both of them are official documents but the lesson note is more
official than the lesson plan which is more or less for personal use.
4. Lesson plans are marked and approved once for the stipulated
period of time such as a term, a month or an academic year while
lesson note is marked and approved on weekly basis.
5. Lesson notes are written on topics while lesson plans are on subject
areas.
6. Lesson plans split subjects into topics while lesson notes split topics
into steps for teaching and understanding
7. A well written lesson note makes the tedious teaching work a very
simple one, since it help the teachers manage their duties
effectively while lesson plan make for period of time to guide the
lesson note.
This training on lesson note and lesson plan will look at the Cambridge
TKT model teaching scheme as presented by George (2011).

The (TKT) model lesson plan is a Cambridge prescribed lesson plan to

be used in effective pedagogic lesson note preparation and teacher. TKT
means Teaching Knowledge Test.
TKT Model specifies the duties of each of the parties (Teacher and
learners) in the course of the lesson with the TKT lesson model, each
new lesson is directed by a tested knowledge of both the teacher and
the learners. TKT model also focuses the attention of the teacher on the
three types of leaners identified in every class (the auditory, the visual
and the kinaesthetic learner) it addresses the individual differences of
the students.
