Step-by-step guide

Prepare lesson plans

Lesson Planning helps teachers prepare local plans, resources, and review notes before generating or sharing anything.

Teacher goal

Where do daily and weekly plans start?

Use this guide when this is the task in front of you. Stop if the selected class, learner, role, school year, file, or output does not match.

In-app path

  1. Classes
  2. Open class workspace
  3. Lesson Planning

Get ready

Check the starting point

These are the minimum conditions for the workflow to make sense.

Before you start

Estimated time: About 10–20 minutes

  • A saved class and taught subject
  • Daily or Weekly scope and the required ILAW fields
  • An AI-use declaration or learning-continuity alternative when requested

You should see

Lesson Planning shows the intended class, subject, scope, saved lesson details, and an honest local draft or generated-file state.

Detailed workflows

Choose the Lesson Planning workflow you need

Compare Daily and Weekly planning and follow the exact draft-review workflow.

Steps

Complete the task in order

Review choice points, save or preview behavior, and any stop condition before continuing.

  1. New weekly lesson-plan editor with class, subject, week, and content fields.View full size
    Sample data only. Confirm the context at the top of the new-plan editor before authoring. Captured July 11, 2026.

    Step 1

    Choose the class, subject, and plan type

    Open Lesson Planning, confirm the intended class and subject, then choose New daily plan or New weekly plan. Use the plan type that matches the teaching period; changing context later can create a draft under the wrong class or subject.

    Expected result: Confirm the context at the top of the new-plan editor before authoring.

  2. Weekly lesson plan populated with teacher-reviewed content and readiness information.View full size
    Sample data only. A weekly plan keeps the reviewed lesson content and readiness checks together. Captured July 12, 2026.

    Step 2

    Author the lesson with teacher-reviewed references

    Complete the required lesson content, objectives, learning flow, assessment, resources, references, and continuity details shown by the editor. Write for the actual class and verify every reference rather than accepting placeholder or generated wording.

    Expected result: A weekly plan keeps the reviewed lesson content and readiness checks together.

  3. Daily lesson plan editor with the selected session and authored classroom content.View full size
    Sample data only. The daily editor is the source of truth for the single-session plan. Captured July 12, 2026.

    Step 3

    Review a daily plan at session level

    For a daily plan, confirm the date, subject, grade, objectives, learner context, learning flow, assessment, and resources for that session. Make corrections before treating the plan as ready.

    Expected result: The daily editor is the source of truth for the single-session plan.

  4. Saved weekly lesson-plan draft showing Needs attention and Finish missing items.View full size
    Sample data only. A saved draft can remain incomplete; the readiness state is the honest status. Captured July 11, 2026.

    Step 4

    Save the draft and read its readiness state

    Choose Save draft, then read the saved status and the action guidance. Needs attention means the draft exists locally but still has missing or unresolved content.

    Expected result: A saved draft can remain incomplete; the readiness state is the honest status.

  5. Lesson plan with a blocked readiness panel identifying missing requirements.View full size
    Sample data only. Use the blocker list as the correction checklist before generation. Captured July 11, 2026.

    Step 5

    Resolve blockers before generating files

    Choose Finish missing items and correct every listed readiness issue. Missing content, references, class setup, or review cannot be bypassed by selecting PDF, DOCX, or Slides.

    Expected result: Use the blocker list as the correction checklist before generation.

  6. Ready lesson plan with generated-output actions and a local output available state.View full size
    Sample data only. The available-output state confirms local generation, not final approval. Captured July 11, 2026.

    Step 6

    Generate the supported local output

    After readiness passes, choose PDF, DOCX, or Slides as needed and follow the confirmation. Label the generated file as a local teacher copy until the teacher has reviewed the actual output.

    Expected result: The available-output state confirms local generation, not final approval.

  7. Rendered first page of the actual generated weekly lesson-plan PDF using fictional class content.View full size
    Sample data only. The actual page is the evidence for class context, lesson content, references, and readable layout. Captured July 11, 2026.

    Step 7

    Open the actual PDF, DOCX, or PPTX

    Open the generated file from Files or its saved folder. Inspect every page or slide for correct class and subject context, complete content, readable layout, references, page breaks, and honest draft or final labeling.

    Return to the plan, correct the source, and generate again when the opened file is clipped, incomplete, or wrong. Expected result: The actual page is the evidence for class context, lesson content, references, and readable layout.

Review

Check these before relying on the work

These checks cover saved, previewed, generated, and teacher-review states.

  • Class and subject selected

    The plan should match the real class and subject before output actions unlock.

  • Required fields complete

    Missing learning details can keep preview or generate actions disabled.

  • AI use stays optional

    Live AI help is Paid-gated and should not receive unnecessary personal learner data.

  • Local review before sharing

    Open generated lesson files and check wording before using them outside GuroAssist.

Blocked states and recovery

Fix the blocker before continuing

Use the direct recovery action when GuroAssist is waiting for setup, data, access, policy, or file readiness.

  • Required details missing

    Complete the plan fields shown by the app before previewing or generating.

    After recovery: The blocker is no longer shown, and the intended next action is available for teacher review.

    Troubleshoot this blocker
  • Paid needed for generated files

    Free supports local work, but generated files require Paid where supported.

    After recovery: Paid access and any required credits are shown as available for this action.

    Open activation help

Safety note

Lesson plans should remain teacher-owned drafts until the teacher reviews them.

Finish

Verify the result

Do not treat a saved screen or generated filename as proof that the work is ready.

You’re done when

Lesson Planning shows the intended class, subject, scope, saved lesson details, and an honest local draft or generated-file state.

Privacy, policy, and official-looking outputs

Keep the work inside its safe boundary

These limits remain in force even when the main task appears complete.

Important boundary

Follow the policy and readiness message shown for the selected class and school year. Do not substitute remembered thresholds, quarter templates, or term rules.
