Section 1: Australian Professional Standards for Teachers

Evaluate the lesson plan according to the following Australian Professional Standards for
Teachers. Only standards directly addressed in Designing Teaching & Learning that are
relevant to this assignment have been included. However, this does not mean the other
standards are irrelevant to lesson planning and evaluation more generally.

Evaluation score 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent)

Comments incl. evidence for evaluation score (2 sentences)

1 Know students and how they learn

1.3 Students with diverse linguistic, cultural, religious and socioeconomic backgrounds
1 23 4 It is evident that the strategies used in this task are very limited and dont
5 explicitly discuss how this task can be applied to students with linguistic,
cultural and religious diversity.
1.4 Strategies for teaching Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students
1 23 4 As discussed in the previous standard it is clearly evident that this task does not
5 specifically identify strategies that are responsive to the learning strengths of
specific groups and as such is limited. It is also evident that this lesson plan
does not incorporate indigenous perspectives or attempt to address the related
CCP.
1.5 Differentiate teaching to meet the specific learning needs of students across the full range of abilities
1 2 3 4 This lesson plan does not address differentiation in an authentic way, this is
5 because it only offers students with the opportunity to write some paragraphs
on the material provided in the classroom. The material provided for the
classroom is heavily reliant upon traditional media such as textbooks and
underutilises the opportunity it has with the world war two Australia website.
1.6 Strategies to support full participation of students with disability
1 234 There is no acknowledgement of students with disabilities and thus it is evident
5 that there has not been any attempt to structure the lesson in a way that can
be accessed by disabled students. Despite the student centred approach that
the activity offers to students.
2 Know the content and how to teach it
2.2 Content selection and organisation
1 234 This lesson plan is somewhat effective addressing the content in a logical order,
5 allowing students to understand how the progression and movements of the
war changed over time provides context for students in addressing the question
presented to the class.
2.3 Curriculum, assessment and reporting
1 2 3 4 Even though this lesson plan addresses two syllabus outcomes, there appears
5 to be no attempt to assess what students have learnt or whether they have
achieved the desired outcome presented in the syllabus
2.6 Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
1 2 3 4 Although it uses a very useful and engaging source for students to interact with
5 the main task is very traditional in the sense that it relies heavily on the
textbook, pen and paper writing exercises. Even though it has great potential
to provide students with the opportunity to explore this subject matter in a
more engaging way.
3 Plan for and implement effective teaching and learning
3.1 Establish challenging learning goals
1 2 3 4 The learning goals for this lesson plan are quite vague and do not completely
5 address the syllabus outcomes, that this lesson is described to cover.
3.2 Plan, structure and sequence learning programs
1 234 Even though the task set out for this lesson is quite monotonous, it does have a
5 relatively logical structure and utilise the time well, even though a little unclear.
3.3 Use teaching strategies
1 2 34 Not really specified, but is clear that this task relies heavily on teacher
5 instruction and doesnt not allow for student centred learning. This is real

4
Ethan Sais 17974628 DTL Assessment Task 2

missed opportunity for students to build on each others ideas and knowledge
3.4 Select and use resources
1 2 3 4 Awesome ICT resource selected, however not utilised very well. Could be used
5 throughout the unit to address various aspects of WWII or used for more in
depth tasks.
4 Create and maintain supportive and safe learning environments
4.1 Support student participation
1 2 3 4 To some level it does however, student participation is let down by time
5 constraints in allowing all students to express their ideas to the class. This could
be better done as group work or as an open discussion of the topic to wrap the
lesson up.
4.2 Manage classroom activities
1 2 34 Classroom activities are managed quite well but not very engaging, mostly due
5 to the teacher instructed focus of the lesson.
4.3 Manage challenging behaviour
1 2 34 There is no specific mention of behavioural management throughout the lesson
5 plan. But is clear that the nature of the lesson plans as one that clearly relies
heavily on teacher instruction and engagement that this may be a response to
unruly behaviour.
4.4 Maintain student safety
1 2 3 4 No acknowledgement of student safety. Would assume that this has been
5 addressed. Not a practical based tasks
4.5 Use ICT safely, responsibly and ethically
1 2 3 4 ICT is safely used, as students have clear instructions and most information
5 needed is provided by the website used and the textbook.
5 Assess, provide feedback and report on student learning
5.1 Assess student learning
1 234 No assessment outlined.
5
5.2 Provide feedback to students on their learning
1 2 3 4 Again this is highly limited by time constraints and nature of the tasks set out.

Section 2: NSW Quality Teaching Model

Evaluate the lesson plan according to the following NSW Quality Teaching model
elements.

Evaluation score refer to NSW QTM Classroom Practice Guide for each
element
Comments incl. evidence for evaluation score (2 sentences)

1 Intellectual quality
1.1 Deep knowledge
1 2 3 4 Although the content is addressed in a way that engages students it does not
5 provide them with the opportunity build on prior knowledge and in fact requires
quite a bit of back ground information in order for students to grasp the
concepts being discussed.
1.2 Deep understanding
1 2 3 4 A missed opportunity for this lesson in allowing for greater student autonomy in
5 tasks. This lesson relies heavily on teacher instruction
1.3 Problematic knowledge
1 2 3 4 The crux of this lesson allows for students to contemplate and interpret the
5 materials they are using and explore them in relevant way.
1.4 Higher-order thinking
1 2 3 4 The beginning of the lesson is predominantly lower order thinking however, the
5 major task and reflection allows for students to think more critically about the
subject matter.

5
Ethan Sais 17974628 DTL Assessment Task 2

1.5 Metalanguage
1 2 3 4 No mention or attempt to use metalanguage in the lesson. Hard to address as
5 this is only a plan and not the actual lesson. Although there is a consistent need
for establishing context for students to understand the content
1.6 Substantive communication
1 2 3 4 Communication is consistent throughout the lesson. This is addressed through
5 the brainstorming activity at the beginning of the lesson and has been built
upon throughout the lesson.
Quality learning environment
2.1 Explicit quality criteria
1 2 3 4 Quality of students work is not explicit and as assessment in this lesson plan is
5 limited and barely addressed.
2.2 Engagement
1 2 3 4 ICT resource highly engaging, but underwhelmingly used. Could benefit from a
5 task that doesnt rely so heavily on traditional tasks.
2.3 High expectations
1 2 3 4 Most students will engage meaningfully with this task however. The end revision
5 of the lesson does leave out many students from participating
2.4 Social support
1 2 3 4 Little evidence of peer interaction and encouragement of supportive
5 behaviours. The nature of the lesson is highly geared towards teacher praise
and direction of behaviour
2.5 Students self-regulation
1 2 3 4 Individual task for most of the lesson provides students with autonomy to
5 engage with the material despite the emphasis on teacher interaction.
2.6 Student direction
1 2 3 4 Very little evidence of student direction. Highly teacher centred learning
5
3 Significance
3.1 Background knowledge
1 2 3 4 It is evident that students require a back ground knowledge to complete the
5 tasks. No previous knowledge is acknowledged or accounted for.
3.2 Cultural knowledge
1 2 3 4 Superficially acknowledged through the major task as it is highly reliant on the
5 students own feelings, background and understandings.
3.3 Knowledge integration
1 2 3 4 Highly integrated - This lesson plan is aimed at addressing the motivations of
5 why people fought in the second world war by exploring its context and speech
of Australias leader during this time.
3.4 Inclusivity
1 2 3 4 All students are included in the activities and are able to make meaningful use
5 out of these tasks. Except for the revision task that focuses on a few students
and not the class as a whole.
3.5 Connectedness
1 2 3 4 This task will have future connections to other history units and can have
5 connections to students family members/ancestry or significance to their future
studies
3.6 Narrative
1 2 3 4 The task does have narrative and emphasises this quite prominently through
5 the topics discussed the resources used.

Reflection
What have I learned about the teaching and learning process when
preparing this lesson?
I have learnt that there are many things to consider when planning out a lesson.
One of the first obstacles I have come to recognise is that of time constraints.
Whether it is possible to get through the workload planned in the time allotted is
very difficult to determine particularly because I have not yet conducted a
lesson about this topic or with this particular type of task. This lesson plan has
provided me with many opportunities to consider how I would incorporate ICT
into my lesson plans. I have discovered that this is not as easy as I first thought,
it is difficult to find ICT sources that are relevant and engaging and I must also
be very weary of ICT and the relevant safety concerns safety concerns.

This task has also provided me with the opportunity to consider how I would
differentiate my lessons for students with varying abilities. I tried to address this
through an activity that relied heavily upon group work, so that I could group
people pf similar or varying abilities to assist students in reaching their potential
while allowing them to assert some control over their education. I have also
come to a greater understanding of the work and process involved in lesson
planning. I have come to the conclusion that I need to work on my time
management skills because I will be unable to spend as much time on other
lesson plans in the future.

How am I measuring the outcomes of this lesson?

WHS
What are the key risk issues that may appear for and need to be
reduced/eliminated in this lesson? Using your syllabus and support
documents as well as other WHS policy- Outline the key WHS
considerations that are to be applied in this lesson?
When using ICT there are many safety concerns that one must be aware
of. The Risk of using ICT in the classroom is that students can use
technology in an irrelevant way or use it to bully others etc. I have been
very careful in this lesson plan to consider this and I have avoided any risk
by giving students QR codes as a way of not only avoiding the risk but also
to help students resist the temptation to avoid the work.

Academic Justification

The modifications that I have made to this lesson have been quiet

large. This is because the lesson plan has failed to address the content in

an engaging and relevant way. I have kept the major resource and the

original lesson plans content. But I have however, changed the nature of

the task so that it is more collaborative. Doing this task as group work is

far more beneficial, as it aids in overcoming the time constraints placed

upon this lesson and also helps in allowing the teacher to differentiate the

lesson.

11
Ethan Sais 17974628 DTL Assessment Task 2

It is clear that the original lesson plan had many missed

opportunities when it came to engagement and relevance to students. I

have identified one of these as a lack of social support. In order to

address this, I have modified the lesson so that there is a greater

emphasis on collaborative learning. Gillies (2003) highlights that group

work can have tremendous benefits for students because it provides them

with the opportunity to give and receive help; learn to resolve problems;

learn to accept others and their differences; as well as allows students to

construct new understandings and deepen their knowledge through

sharing ideas and perspectives. Furthermore, collaborative learning has a

dual purpose in my revised lesson plan, as Gillies (2003) argues the use

of collaborative learning strategies can be extremely useful in

differentiating activities to meet all student needs. This is because of the

enhanced socialisation amongst peers with differing backgrounds,

experiences and abilities. Downing and Eichinger (2003) suggest that

students who suffer from disabilities are afforded many benefits from

tasks that use inclusive strategies because they allow for these students

to engage with the tasks in ways that cater to their specific needs, which

in the case of my revised lesson plan allow students to use images and

illustrations to inform and engage all students regardless of language

barriers, disabilities or cognitive abilities. Furthermore, Gillies (2003)

suggests that disabled students as a result of collaborative learning

strategies improve their communication and motor skills. In fact, it is

argued by Gillies (2003) that group work also allows for greater

12
Ethan Sais 17974628 DTL Assessment Task 2

communication, self-esteem and achievement outcomes within

delinquent and disengaged youth.

Blatchford, Kutnick, Baines and Galton emphasise the role of

knowledge-based constructivism and effort-based learning (2003,

p.154) that are essential to creating strategies for students that are

intrinsically motivating and thereby making full use of the social

pedagogic potential of the classroom (Blatchford, 2003, p.154). They

look at group work or groupings (Blatchford, et al., 2003, p.155) as a

way of shifting the ownership and control of learning to the students

themselves. Evidently group work also provides teachers with the

opportunity to draw upon student-to-student pedagogy and its ability to

provide students with the opportunity to build their understandings of a

topic upon each others knowledge. Blatchford et. al. (2003) explores this

notion through Vygotskys zone of proximal development that highlights

the gaps of a students knowledge that can be expanded through teacher

guidance (Alves, 2014). In this case student peer relations can act as a

catalyst for students to develop their understanding and fill the gaps in

their knowledge in a more direct, relevant and meaningful way

(Blatchford, 2003).

I have attempted to address the deep knowledge aspect of the

quality teaching framework by introducing tasks that inform key concepts

surrounding historical knowledge. These include understanding past

perspectives and its influence on the modern day, in a highly relatable

13
Ethan Sais 17974628 DTL Assessment Task 2

and meaningful way. This is addressed in my revised lesson plan through

the more relevant use of ICT. Heemskerk et al. (2012) suggests that ICT

offers teachers the opportunity to individualise and differentiate their

lessons. According to Brooks et. al. (2014) use of ICT in the classroom is

not being used to it full potential as a tool to foster student-centred

learning situations based on the Piagean notion of student understanding

developed through exploratory engagement with material rather than a

focus on teacher instruction, that has placed ICT use as a compliment to

traditional resources. Therefore, my approach to incorporating ICT within

my revised lesson plan is intertwined with group work, as Brooks et. al.

suggests that a far better use of ICT in the classroom is through a

computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) (Brooks et. al., 2014)

framework, allowing students to partake in learning activities that actively

engage them in the exploration of topics and problems using ICT.
