Weekly Learning Plan
Subject	Business Management	Week	2
Duration	60 minutes	Form	SHS 2
Strand	Managing Businesses and the Legal Framework of Businesses	Sub-Strand	Functional Areas of Management
Learning Outcome(s)	2.1.2.LO.1 - Demonstrate understanding and practical application of Decision-making: meaning, importance, types and tools — case/application within the curriculum sub-strand Functional Areas of Management.
Learning Indicator(s)	2.1.2.LI.1 - Decision-making: meaning, importance, types and tools
Lesson Focus	Decision-making: meaning, importance, types and tools
Previous Knowledge	Learners recall the immediately preceding knowledge/skill needed to engage with Decision-making: meaning, importance, types and tools — case/application; the starter diagnoses this rather than assuming mastery.
Lesson Objective(s)	Identify or explain the key subject idea/procedure in Decision-making: meaning, importance, types and tools — case/application. Complete the concrete guided/practical task for Decision-making: meaning, importance, types and tools — case/application accurately. Apply Decision-making: meaning, importance, types and tools — case/application independently to a new case, data set, text, material or performance situation.
Essential Question(s)	What evidence or procedure is needed to work accurately with Decision-making: meaning, importance, types and tools — case/application? What would a strong practical/application response to Decision-making: meaning, importance, types and tools — case/application look like? How would changing the context, data or constraints affect a decision about Decision-making: meaning, importance, types and tools — case/application?
Pedagogical Strategies	Diagnostic questioning Experiential/problem-based learning Collaborative analysis Guided modelling Independent application Peer/self assessment
Teaching & Learning Resources	Decision scenario cards Management-level chart Weighted decision matrix Calculator
Key Notes on Differentiation
Content	Provide a partially completed example, labelled materials or vocabulary support for learners who need scaffolding in Decision-making: meaning, importance, types and tools — case/application. Extend the task by adding a new constraint, less familiar case or requirement to compare alternatives in Decision-making: meaning, importance, types and tools — case/application.
Process	Use mixed-ability pairs for the first application, then require an individual transfer task. Allow oral/visual demonstration where appropriate while retaining the same subject accuracy criteria.
Product	Use a checklist/rubric tied to the concrete output for this week rather than participation alone. For advanced work, require justification with evidence, calculations, source reference or quality criteria.
Success Criteria	The learner uses correct subject terminology and evidence. The learner completes the week’s concrete product/calculation/performance with acceptable accuracy. The learner explains why the procedure/choice fits the stated context rather than giving a memorised general answer.
Homework	Observe a familiar school, shop or organisation and write a short example showing how Decision-making: meaning, importance, types and tools — case/application is or could be used.

Lesson Activities
Stage	Teacher Activity	Learner Activity	Assessment / DoK
Starter10 minutes	Present an unseen case/material set for Decision-making: meaning, importance, types and tools — case/application using Decision scenario cards; do not model the solution. Ask learners to identify the first decision, calculation, language feature or practical step.	Inspect the prompt/materials, record an initial response about Decision-making: meaning, importance, types and tools — case/application, and justify it briefly.	Not provided.
Activity 115 minutes	Give fresh data/materials for Decision-making: meaning, importance, types and tools — case/application and require learners to complete the subject-specific task without a worked example.	Apply a weighted decision matrix to choose between three business options using cost, time, risk and customer impact. Use the fresh case/materials and show all evidence, workings or process decisions.	Check independent transfer: correct method/technique, use of evidence and completeness of the concrete output.
Activity 220 minutes	Have pairs exchange outputs for Decision-making: meaning, importance, types and tools — case/application; provide a quality-control checklist tied to the actual product/calculation/performance and require evidence-based corrections.	Write the six-step decision process for a new scenario and identify where evidence is needed. Then peer-audit another output, identify one precise defect/error and propose a correction.	Score both the original output and the accuracy of the peer correction against the subject checklist.
Activity 310 minutes	Present one deliberately flawed example related to Decision-making: meaning, importance, types and tools — case/application; require each learner to locate the defect and produce the corrected version.	Identify the exact error/weakness in the flawed Decision-making: meaning, importance, types and tools — case/application example, correct it and write one sentence explaining why the correction is valid.	Check that the learner corrects the actual defect rather than merely rewriting the example.

Lesson Closure

Compare the model criteria with the errors found in the unseen Decision-making: meaning, importance, types and tools — case/application task; highlight the one quality check learners should carry into future work. Complete a one-minute exit response using a concrete example from the lesson on Decision-making: meaning, importance, types and tools — case/application.
