How the Vawsum Syllabus and Lesson Planner works
Structure the syllabus once. The lesson plans write themselves.
In most schools the syllabus lives in one document, the lesson plan lives in a teacher's diary, and the question of whether the syllabus is actually on track gets answered by asking around. Vawsum joins the three. A teacher builds the syllabus for a class, section and subject as a four-level structure - Syllabus, then Chapters, then Topics, then Sub-Topics - with estimated periods and marks recorded against each chapter. Topics and Sub-Topics are optional, so a simple subject can stop at chapter level while a board subject goes to full depth. Once an administrator publishes the syllabus, a single Generate action creates the lesson plans from that structure. You choose the planning level at that moment - lessons at chapter level, topic level, sub-topic level, or mixed - so the granularity matches the subject rather than a fixed house style. Each lesson then carries the teaching material around it: teaching aids, key competencies, cognitive domains, prescribed books, tests, homework and activities. From there the lesson moves through a defined lifecycle - Pending, Approved, InProgress, Completed - and the roles are separated deliberately. Teachers create lessons, submit them and post progress. Approval and rejection belong to the head of department and the principal. A teacher cannot approve their own plan, which is what makes the syllabus completion report worth reading.

Frequently asked questions
If you have any doubts about our Syllabus and Lesson Planner beside these, feel free to reach out to us
1. Can I opt for just the Syllabus and Lesson Planner?
Yes you can. You need not pick the other modules of Vawsum.
2. How deeply can we structure our curriculum?
Four levels: Syllabus, then Chapters, then Topics, then Sub-Topics. Topics and Sub-Topics are optional, so a straightforward subject can stop at chapter level while a board subject uses the full depth.
3. How many syllabuses do we create for one class and subject?
One per class-section-subject combination per academic year. Class VII-B Mathematics has exactly one syllabus for the year, which is what prevents the duplicate and conflicting versions that build up when planning lives in documents.
4. What details go against each chapter?
Name, sequence number, estimated periods, marks and description. Recording estimated periods and marks at chapter level means the plan reflects both teaching time and examination weight from the start.
5. Can a teacher publish their own syllabus?
No. Teachers draft the syllabus, but publishing is an administrator action. Nothing becomes the working plan for a class until the school has signed it off.
6. Do teachers have to write every lesson plan by hand?
No. Once a syllabus is published, a single Generate action creates the year’s lessons automatically from its own hierarchy. Teachers then enrich and adjust rather than starting from a blank page each term.
7. Can we control how detailed the generated lessons are?
Yes. At the moment of generating, you choose the planning level – chapter, topic, sub-topic or mixed – so granularity follows the subject rather than one house rule applied to everything.
8. What can be attached to a lesson?
Teaching aids, key competencies, cognitive domains, prescribed books and tests, along with sub-topics, homework and activities. Everything a teacher needs for that lesson sits against the lesson itself rather than in separate files.
9. What stages does a lesson move through?
Pending, then Approved, then InProgress, then Completed. Because the stages are defined rather than informal, the school can see exactly where every lesson stands at any point in the term.
10. Can a teacher approve their own lesson plan?
No, and this is deliberate. Teachers create lessons, submit them and post progress. Approval and rejection belong to the head of department and the principal or administrator. That separation is what makes the syllabus completion report worth reading.
11. How do we know whether the syllabus is actually on track?
Progress posted by teachers rolls up into a syllabus completion view, so the school sees which classes are on track and which are behind while there is still term left to act on it – rather than discovering the gap at revision time.
12. Where do lesson resources live?
In a content repository organised by term, retrieved through filters. Material built once is reused rather than rebuilt, and it stays with the institution when a teacher moves on.
13. What happens if a teacher leaves mid-year?
The published syllabus, the generated lesson plans, the attached resources and the posted progress all remain with the institution. The teacher taking over sees exactly what has been covered and what has not.
14. How long does it take to go live?
We can configure the system in a few hours if we have all the data.
