Definition
教案 has two distinct meanings. The common one is a 'lesson plan' or 'teaching plan' — the document a teacher prepares before class, outlining objectives, activities, and materials. The historical sense refers to 'missionary cases' — diplomatic incidents in late Qing China involving foreign missionaries and local conflicts. The first sense is the one you'll encounter in everyday educational contexts.
