| Weekly Learning Plan | |||
| Subject | Business Management | Week | 9 |
| Duration | 60 minutes | Form | SHS 2 |
| Strand | Managing Businesses and the Legal Framework of Businesses | Sub-Strand | Legal Environment of Business and Risk Management |
| Learning Outcome(s) | 2.1.3.LO.1 - Demonstrate understanding and practical application of Insurance principles, policies and business protection within the curriculum sub-strand Legal Environment of Business and Risk Management. | ||
| Learning Indicator(s) | 2.1.3.LI.4 - Insurance principles, policies and business protection | ||
| Lesson Focus | Insurance principles, policies and business protection | ||
| Previous Knowledge | Learners recall the immediately preceding knowledge/skill needed to engage with Insurance principles, policies and business protection; the starter diagnoses this rather than assuming mastery. | ||
| Lesson Objective(s) | Identify or explain the key subject idea/procedure in Insurance principles, policies and business protection. Complete the concrete guided/practical task for Insurance principles, policies and business protection accurately. Apply Insurance principles, policies and business protection 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 Insurance principles, policies and business protection? What would a strong practical/application response to Insurance principles, policies and business protection look like? How would changing the context, data or constraints affect a decision about Insurance principles, policies and business protection? | ||
| Pedagogical Strategies | Diagnostic questioning Experiential/problem-based learning Collaborative analysis Guided modelling Independent application Peer/self assessment | ||
| Teaching & Learning Resources | Business risk scenario cards Sample insurance policy summaries Risk matrix Calculator Flip chart/markers | ||
| Key Notes on Differentiation | |||
| Content | Provide a partially completed example, labelled materials or vocabulary support for learners who need scaffolding in Insurance principles, policies and business protection. Extend the task by adding a new constraint, less familiar case or requirement to compare alternatives in Insurance principles, policies and business protection. | ||
| 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 | Prepare a one-page risk-and-insurance plan for a familiar local business, identifying at least four risks and an appropriate response to each. | ||
| Lesson Activities | |||
| Stage | Teacher Activity | Learner Activity | Assessment / DoK |
| Starter10 minutes | Display three short business-loss scenarios—fire in a shop, goods damaged in transit and employee injury—and ask which losses a business can plan for before they occur. | Inspect the prompt/materials, record an initial response about Insurance principles, policies and business protection, and justify it briefly. | Not provided. |
| Activity 115 minutes | Provide policy-summary cards and guide learners to distinguish insurance principles, common business policies and the losses each addresses. | Classify risk-and-policy cards and match each business risk to a suitable policy type, explaining the match. | Check whether learners distinguish risk, peril, hazard and insurance cover accurately. |
| Activity 220 minutes | Give groups a Ghanaian SME risk register with likelihood/impact data; require them to rank the risks and decide which should be insured, reduced or retained. | Analyse a small-business case (shop, transport operator or food processor), identify insurable risks and recommend cover with reasons. | Score the risk register for correct prioritisation and realistic treatment choices. |
| Activity 310 minutes | Give a new risk scenario and require each learner to select an insurance response and defend the choice. | Write a short insurance recommendation note stating risk, policy, principle involved and expected protection. | Check recommendation notes for correct policy choice and reasoning. |
| Lesson Closure | Review one mismatched insurance recommendation and ask learners to correct it by linking the actual risk to an appropriate policy/principle. Complete a one-minute exit response using a concrete example from the lesson on Insurance principles, policies and business protection. | ||
