CBE (CBC) Lesson Plan Maker

How to write a CBE lesson plan

1. Fill in the lesson details: school, grade, learning area, date, time and roll (the number of learners).
2. Copy the strand and sub-strand from your scheme of work or the KICD curriculum design.
3. Write 2 to 4 specific learning outcomes that finish the sentence “By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to…”. Start each with an action word (identify, describe, draw, solve) and include one value or attitude where it fits.
4. Add a key inquiry question that gets learners thinking, then list the learning resources you'll use.
5. Plan the introduction, the lesson development steps (what learners will do) and the conclusion. Add an extended activity for home if you like.
6. Print it or save it as a PDF. After the lesson, write your reflection.

Your school may use a slightly different layout. The content is the same, so download the plan for Word if you need to adjust it.

Questions and answers

What are the parts of a CBC lesson plan?

A CBE (CBC) lesson plan has the lesson details (school, grade, learning area, date, time and roll), the strand and sub-strand, specific learning outcomes, key inquiry questions, learning resources, the organisation of learning (introduction, lesson development and conclusion), an extended activity and a reflection on the lesson.

Is CBC the same as CBE?

Yes. Kenya's Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) is now called Competency Based Education (CBE). The lesson plan parts are the same, so this maker works for both.

Can I edit the lesson plan in Word?

Yes. Click Download for Word to get a .doc file you can open and change in Microsoft Word, WPS or Google Docs. You can also print it or save it as a PDF.
