Teaching is a beautiful but busy job. In Rwanda, teachers spend many hours preparing lesson plans before they enter the classroom. Sometimes this feels hard, especially when classes are big and time is short. But today, teachers have new help AI-powered tools like LessonPlan Nexvecta.
This website allows teachers to create, save, and print lesson plans in minutes. Instead of starting from zero, the tool guides you step by step. It even suggests activities that fit our Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC).
As I wrote this guide, I thought of my fellow teachers in Huye and Gisagara. Many of them tell me:
“Teacher Prudence, lesson planning takes too much of my evening. I wish there was a faster way.”
This post is my answer. Together, let us walk through the tool and learn how to make professional lesson plans quickly.

Unit: Events in the Past
Lesson Title: Running in the Park
Key Competence: To use language in context of past events.
AI Suggested Activity:
Learners read a short poem about playing in the park. They answer questions:
- Who was in the park?
- What did they do?
- How did they feel?
Learners then act out the poem in small groups.
Cultural Reflection
In Rwanda, we value planning ahead. Just as a farmer prepares the land before planting, a teacher prepares a lesson before teaching. Family values like discipline, preparation, and care for others also shape our classrooms.
Using LessonPlan Nexvecta is not replacing the teacher’s creativity. Instead, it is like a friend helping us organize faster, so we can give more time to learners.
Life Lessons from this Guide
As I prepared this blog, I imagined many teachers after a long day in class. They are tired but must still write lesson plans for tomorrow. This tool gives them back some time to rest, to play with their children, or to read.
Lesson: Technology can save teachers time, but the heart of teaching is still love and care for learners.
