INTRODUCTION
Inclusive teaching is essential for every teaching institute in order to develop learning
environment. It is the duty of the tutor to treat every student equally irrespective of their cultural
background. Lesson planning will help the tutor to outline what they need to discuss during the
lecture and what they want their student to learn specifically from lesson (Ahmed and et.al
2020). This report will cover the aim and characteristics of the lesson planning, It entails how
lessons are being planned to accomplish the goals, it also covers the learning styles and
taxonomies. It also describes the preparedness of the effective lesson plan, and also lays out the
need for flexibility and adaptability in designing of lesson plan. Moving on further it will lay out
the complete lesson plan for the Hospitality and management subject. It will also illustrate the
description of assessment and evaluation along with its different methods. Report will also lay
out the uses of differentiated assessment and analysis of assessment and evaluation result.
MAIN BODY
TASK 1
1.1 Aim of lesson planning
Lesson planning refer as the tutor’s road map, in which it outlines the main topics which
need to be cover in classroom. It helps the instructor to effectively practice teaching during
classroom so that every individual will be able to learn the lesson. Its aim often describes that
what tutor wants their learner to specifically learn from the lesson. With this tutor can easily
proceed to develop the appropriate strategies which helps them in obtaining the feedbacks from
students, it will help in creating the learning environment (Jemaia). Having a clear lesson plan
will help the tutor to enter the class with confidence, thus it will allow them to teach efficiently
so that learner’s goals will have achieved. Its objective is better performance, criteria and
conditions, its focus on important learning requirement of the class.
Another benefit of lesson planning is that with this tutor can easily begin to arrange the
activities that helps the student to increase their focus. For an example if tutor is teaching laws
and regulation subject, then in such it is difficult for the students to learn the laws, for that tutor
can proceed with lesson plan which helps in conducting in between question answer session that
will allow the students to increase their grip on subjects. Thus, instructor also need to ensure that
4

to plan the lesson with efficiency as to think before including activities, it is important for them
to make their student able to completely engage with the subjects.
However it also have disadvantage which is it consumes more time to plan the lesson, tutor can’t
do work independently, also the simplest things will become more complicated. Steps for lesson
planning are-
To analyse the learning objectives.
Plan for the specific activities for learning
Plan to analyse the learner’s understanding
Developing realistic deadline
To plan for closure of lesson
1.2 The characteristics of effective lesson plan
Planning is a constitutional part of the complete teaching operation. It help teachers in
order to become highly organized in order to feel more confident and focused towards their goals
and objectives (Dillman, 2021). Lesson plan act as a powerful teaching resource which greatly
support students in every manner. In general there are certain major characteristics of appropriate
lesson planning which includes:
 Build over students superior cognition: At the time of lesson planning, in general each
individual provide significant focus towards the extra efforts that are going to teach by
the tutor in front of their students. It involves the overall syllabus and reach towards
necessary progress in order to deliver their lessons in front of the whole class. The plan is
highly restrained with time, appraisal and the standards. At this stage, students prior
information has been recognized and the tutor have to try their best in order to mitigate
the misconceptions or doubts that interfering the students' ability to learn.
 Allows for advanced flexibility: In order to fulfil the desire and requirements of students
in fruitful manner, flexibility among the teachers mentoring styles are highly significant
in nature. Hence, they have to consider some modifications as and when required by the
students. It is all about providing their best input in order to maximize the outcome from
their learners in positive manner.
 Clarification of transition of knowledge: Grabbing students attention is the most initial
task for teachers as without their complete attention, the tutors are unable to transfer the
5

knowledge which they want to transfer (Farrelly, 2018). Apart from this, maintaining the
similar kind of focus is also equally challenging for all of them. Hence, the lesson plan
should consist of clear transitions which is more time effective and efficient.
 Allotment of time for student engagement: Tutors have to provide time to their learners
in order to adopt changes and take lessons in most effectual manner. It involves the
allotment of precious opportunities for students which encourages them to learn and
achieve personal growth and expansion in impressively.
The 7E's of lesson planning consists of engage, elicit, explore, explain, elaborate, extend
and finally evaluate the whole concept in detailed manner has been accomplished. At elicit stage
tutor found that students level of understanding, next is engaged stage at which interest and
curiosity arises among individuals, at explore stage people should be given opportunities in order
to work together, explore stage provides concepts has been build, next is elaborate stage at which
student applies this learning, next is extend phase at which encouragement has been done to
apply the concepts and the last is evaluation stage at which teachers evaluate the learning that has
been occurred.
1.3 Designing of lesson plan which incorporate goals and requirements to students
Lesson plan is a path way which effectively able to illustrate the things that needs to be
learned by students during the classroom sessions. Before plan any lesson, the identified learning
outcomes must be met and then appropriate strategies has been developed to obtain feedback
over students learning. Tutors always want their students to cover each important part of learning
which had been designed by them after considering their requirements. In order to design
appropriate lesson plan, certain actions will be taken:
 Step1: Learning objective: Setting of effectual learning goal is pivotal part of overall
lesson planning as it requires clear instructions which have to be fulfilled by the teachers.
 Step2: Learning activities: Learning activities refers to those actions which is greatly
necessary within lesson planning as it allows teachers to engage students into some
activities which help to enhance their understanding towards any significant process or
topic.
6

 Step3: Learners understanding: Teachers need to make sure that students have
generated a sense of understanding within themselves about significant topics (Anderson,
2018). Lesson plan involves this particular step in order to sharpen abilities of learners by
testing their level of understanding within specific lesson sessions.
 Step4 Setting into sequence: This step means that tutoprs have to continuously keeps on
doing their learning programme in order to fulfil the requirements of students in
meaningful ways.
 Step5 realistic timeline: This step is the end of the lesson planning which ensures that
each activity must be fulfilled in most specific style within stipulated time duration.
2.1Analysis of learning style and learning taxonomies included at the time of lesson planning
 Learning taxonomies: Bloom is a well-known effectual learning taxonomy which helps
to generate a hierarchy of objectives. In general there are three dimensions of bloom
which includes effective domain, cognitive and psychomotor domain (Alonso, 2018).
 Cognitive domain: This includes some important steps which has been explained below:
1. Create: At this stage teachers have to design and collect appropriate lesson plan to meet desire
of learner. This step collects element in collaborative manner and provide clear view to them.
2. Evaluate: This means to make judgements based upon specific criteria which include
checking and critique.
3. Analyse: It means breaking of information into various parts which also allows tutors to
understand diversified requirements into effective learning and teaching.
4. Application: This means procedure which has been executed by teacher have to set by certain
strategy which allows them to put plan into action.
7

5. Understanding: Understand means communication which is most significant part into
bloom's hierarchy which allows teachers to evaluate meaning from graphic, oral or written
communication.
6. Remember: This means retrieving of knowledge or recognition of long term memory
which allows teachers to recall information used to make plan most effectual in nature.
Learning, language and literacy are the major 3L's of learning which acts as planning tool
for the better and appropriate lesson planning to the teachers. The Bloom's taxonomy is a set of
three hierarchical models utilized for further classification of learning objectives. The major
learning taxonomies are cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains. These are the ways
through which one can describe diversified ways of learning behaviours. Educator utilizes
learning taxonomies in order to define and distinguish dissimilar levels of human cognition that
belongs to learning, thinking and understanding level.
2.2 Explanation over lesson plan which incorporate learning style and taxonomies
There are various kinds of taxonomies such as:
VARK Model
 Visual: This represents highlighting graphical images and diagrams that assist in order to
provide clear level of understanding about the information to both teacher as well as the
student and help them to get information through visual presentation (Imus, 2019).
 Auditory: This means providing information with the help of audio method which
illustrate things with the help of speaking or digital audio method.
 Read: Writing and reading is most basic element which has been utilized in each and
every step of learning and teaching. This assist in displaying the information in written
format where learner is able to learn from reading actions.
 Kinaesthetic: This step simply means getting information with the help of getting
appropriate teaching experiences which include skills and knowledge of teachers which
also help learners to learn from their experiences.
8

In general there are 5L's which enable an individual in learning such as eyes for looking,
ears for listening, lips together, legs crossed and hands on lap are the major L's of learning. As
per the above criteria, Bloom's taxonomy has been implemented within the learning sessions
which provides different levels of learning objectives and has been divided by the complexity.
With the help of Bloom's taxonomy the students are able to understand, remember, applying,
analysing, evaluating and creating the knowledge and information among the learning sessions.
2.3 The ways to ensure lesson plans are inclusive
In order to make sure about the fact that lesson planning are inclusive in nature the diversified
resources has been used within the inclusive plans which illustrates that all the children in the
class will be able to complete their definite tasks. Although each and every child has their own
abilities and skills and thus requires considerable amount of assistance from educators as well.
3.1 The ways through which effective lesson plan have been prepared
There are specific stages through which effective lesson plan have been generated:
 Outline of objectives: Before illustrating process of lesson planning, teachers must
ensure about objectives which are effectively able to provide clear understanding to
teachers as well as students (Casado, 2020).
 Introduction: After highlighting objectives, tutors have to provide introduction about the
topic which will going to discuss within the classrooms.
 Special activities: This might include engagement method under which teachers tris their
maximum to engage with their students in beneficial manner.
 Checking: Checking is one of the most significant thing which allows tutors to check
understanding level carried by the learner (Fălăuş, 2018).
 Conclusion: This will include complete framework and final result of lessons this assist
tutor to make sure about each and every part of success.
 Timeline: Setting appropriate timeline is very significant in every lesson plan which
allows teachers ad students to complete lesson planning within specified time period.
With the help of above elaborated all the aspects in detailed manner, the best lesson plan
has been prepared which is highly worthy when the appropriate delivery procedures and
9

techniques also have been utilized in order to elaborate things n front of students. Suggested
practices are establishment of positive classroom environment, begin lesson by giving clear
instructions, maintaining students attention level, utilizing appropriate pacing, smooth transition
into next subject, etc.
3.2 Analysis of the requirements for adaptability and flexibility in designing the lesson plan
 Flexibility: Each lesson plan has been generated by tutors are greatly requires certain
amount of flexibility which explains that teacher and learner both can explore broad area
of getting knowledge (Xie and et.al., 2021). Being flexible in teaching allows them to
fulfil critical demand of learners. Sometimes it is quite challenging for teacher because
the situation of curriculum is complex. This is basically illustrated a kind of method in
which the complete freedom has been given by tutor to their learners or students in order
to discuss when, why, what, how and where they learn. This highlight the overall
environment which fruitfully addresses how physical space is utilized and the ways in
which the students collect and grouped during their learning sessions along with the time
that has been utilized throughout the teaching process. From various studies, it has been
evaluated that effective teachers are the ones who are great at being flexible as they are
the major ones who balance several responsibilities at first instance and still make
students in order to feel good about themselves as well. This is basically learner centred
approach that is deeply rooted in the requirements of students. The primal objective is to
provide students with the most flexible learning in the form of content, schedule,
assessment and accessibility.
 Adaptability: This is greatly significant at each stage of teaching as this is highly crucial
in terms of adjusting at specific points. Adaptation of new and advanced skills allows
teacher to become more effective and successfully navigating lesson along with adopting
specific approaches that assist them to meet dynamic requirements and desires of
students. Every tutor have to face certain amount of challenges into teaching procedure
and majorly able to meet demand of learner, adaptation and adjustment of lesson process
can help teachers to better engage with their students (Norton, Helgevold and Bjuland,
2019). This illustrates the ability to adapt changes and in general context it helps to being
able to acclimate the students in order to change roles, responsibilities and schedules.
10

This highlights one's willingness to adjust and in the role of teacher job, it is greatly
required to being make the planning in most adjustable manner so that further
modifications can be done after considering the requirements of students. It is a kind of
skill which has been developed within oneself or specially must required among teachers
(Takahashi and McDougal, 2018). In order to effectively adaptable in nature, the abilities
required are communication, interpersonal, problem solving, creative, team working
along with organizational capabilities which illustrate the basic and foremost
requirements of each individual.
3.3 Lesson plan design affects the delivery of inclusive teaching and learning
Lesson plan design mainly attracts student attraction towards with the specific topic
learning. Because, lesson plan properly defines all the essential information which provide by
teacher in future when they provide education (Kariippanon and et.al., 2018). Inclusive teacher is
one of the most appropriate approach for distribution of knowledge to student because
application on this teaching methods teacher always believes and concern to distribute
appropriate information or education with diversity expansion. It means diversity application in
lesson plan, teacher develop different questioner, approaches, methods for proper information
distribution to students.
Diversity practice in education is most powerful approach. So this is the major reason
that lesson plan deign affects on teaching and learning. Imperfect design or structure badly
influences on teaching and learning methods. Teacher has major duty that they provide proper
education to student with effective teaching and student always prefer and develop concern that
when teacher provide education they follow effective plan for distribution of knowledge
throughout the oral questioner, discussion and many more other. Having this culture in education
is one of the most appropriate practice for inclusive teaching and learning. In this term teacher
divide and distribute chapter into section because individual has not capability to learn overall
aspects within less time. There are number of learning related things that can be affected by
lesson plan of tutors such as: learning styles of learners, cultural beliefs, educational background,
cognition, language and sensory abilities. A lesson plan should be developed by considering
learning styles of learners as tutors can make a list of students who prefer similar style of
learning. Along with this, tutors need to consider cultural beliefs and make sure that their lesson
11

plan does not hurt cultural values of learner. Different students have different grasping abilities
as some can adapt new things quickly whereas, some take time so, tutors need to understand this
difference while preparing lesson plan and accordingly, they can have positive impact.
