TESSA offers a range of Open Educational Resources to support teacher education and training.   The resources include lesson plans.

Clicking on South Africa takes one to the TESSA Community for South Africa where there are modules for Literacy, Numeracy, Science, Social Studies/Arts,  and Life Skills.  There is also a very useful resource called  Teacher Educator Guidance.
