agree  clain: Or course development. I think lesson planning refers to the individual daily lesson, whereas course design encompasses the whole semester.

Programme development


Explanation:
FX Fraipont's - 'course design' works well if the teacher is being asked to design a programme from scratch. Most teachers are asked to develop lesson materials from other resources, in which case, I'd use 'programme development'.

course plan/outline or (course) curriculum


Explanation:
course planning is the action, whereas course plan in the noun; a course outline or plan is a step-by-step explanation of what a course entails.

also: curriculum is the mot juste if the context is for an overall course of study.

Example sentence(s):
  • The teachers have to prepare and submit a course curriculum/plan/outline for evaluation before they start teaching the assigned courses.
