introduces speeches as a relevant focus.
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.
1.4 Strategies for teaching Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students
12345 Comments: There is no specific strategies for indigenous students. The group discussion may
even cause minority voices to be brushed over for the majority opinion.
1.5 Differentiate teaching to meet the specific learning needs of students across the full range of abilities
12345 Comments: The only suggested extension work was completing speeches at a set date/time.
This is not student driven and does not adequately extend for the needs of advanced and
struggling students.
12345 Comments: The lesson plan has an organised flow of research, discussion, implementation and
informal assessment. Builds knowledge in first period and scaffolds new knowledge in second
period.
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 5 Comments: Group work encourages deep learning as each individual should have a sustained
focus on the central concepts of speeches. With only minor off-task behaviours.
7
1.5 Metalanguage
1 2 3 4 5 Comments: The lesson is focused on the metalanguage of speeches and understanding how to
language presented orally can affect the written word.
2.2 Engagement
12345 Comments: The groupwork and classwork tries to involve contribution from all students,
however this may leave some left out. The ICT part of the lesson is not monitored, possibly
leading to low involvement.
3 Significance
3.1 Background knowledge
8
12345 Comments: The lesson plan provides all students with an opportunity to develop background
knowledge or express learned knowledge in the activity. The knowledge is also improved by
group integration.
3.4 Inclusivity
12345 Comments: Inclusivity is an important part of the lesson plan. All students are encouraged to
involve themselves in the discussion. There may be some unevenness, with minority opinions
being overshadowed.
3.5 Connectedness
1 2 3 4 5 Comments: Audience is defined to be important towards speeches and thus can lead to students
experimenting with sharing their own individual speeches with audiences outside of school.
3.6 Narrative
12345 Comments: The scope of the lesson had a minor connection to narrative with students
researching Martin Luther King and Richard Gill gaining knowledge of their respective stories.
Identify the two APST standards and two NSW QT model elements you are targeting for improvement.
APST
1) 4.5 Use ICT safely, responsibly and ethically 2) 1.5 Differentiate teaching to meet the specific learning
needs of students across the full range of abilities

Despite the fact that this original lesson plan performed well in some areas of Australian
professional standards ("Teacher Standards", 2011) and Quality teaching methods (Quality
teaching in NSW public schools, 2003), there is significant opportunity for improvement in
Without proper instruction on ethical, responsible and safe methods of using ICT, the
integration into the original lesson plan was handled poorly. To amend this the adaption includes
a video resource which discusses safety when using technology, ("Safe Web Surfing: Top Tips
for Kids and Teens Online", 2017) a reflective quiz on safety video using socrative. Both
activates work together to initiating learning, then testing that learning with informal formative
demonstrated in Buzzetto-Mores research article (2010). The use of computers with safety
frameworks installed was also included. Responsible use of ICT is requirement of its application
(NESA, 2017), \y not applying NESA standards there is an increase in the amount of antisocial
behavior leading increasing cyberbullying statistics (Healy & Lynch, 2013). Safety frameworks
such as Safe'--new social networking safety programme, (2011) and E safety (Asaria, 2014)
control access to content and monitor behavior. They are both evidenced to be effective methods
reducing antisocial behavior in online environments (Asaria, 2014). The inclusion of the internet
safety video, reflective safety quiz and installed internet safety frameworks respect the
requirements of the standards 4.5 and therefore allow for the proper integration of 2.6.

Diverse learning requires the educator to understand how culture and identity changes
learning needs of students (AISTL, 2017). Lacking methods of effective teaching for diverse
students may negatively impact on a students intrinsic motivation to learn (Froiland, Oros,
Smith. Hirchert, 2012). Because of this evidence, the scope of the original lesson plan has
broadened to include additional choices for speeches. Student driven research was also

transformations (Teemant, 2013). With this in mind, the modifications allow for instruction to be
specific to the students needs and allow for teacher adaption to specific classrooms, maintaining
the expectation of curriculum outcomes. The ability for students to pick predetermined speeches
themselves (Designing differentiated lessons in grades 4-9, 2010). The modifications achieve
The Quality teaching practice guide states exactly what outcomes must be achieved to
maximize each standard (Quality teaching in NSW public schools, 2003). In respect to this, the
lesson plan was modified to achieve a 4-5 on the coding scale. Therefore, improvements were
made in both criteria and choice, firstly considering choice. Having a singular form of instruction
can lead to decreased learning, therefore it is best to combine teacher and student-centered
instruction (Walters, 2011). Kain, (2003) argues a similar point, that constraints and theory must
16
be balanced in effective instruction. Consequently, the modified lesson plan addressed this by
allowing advanced students to research their own individual speeches from Radiochemistry.org
(2017), or for struggling students to pick from a predetermined list. leading to an overall increase
in engagement in the classroom (Walters, 2011). Criteria is the second consideration, similar to
choice, the activity was modified to give power to the students. Chang, Tseng & Lou (2012)
explored the reliability of teacher, peer and self-assessment, finding that self and teacher
assessment had a high level of consistency. The research is performed again by Chang, Liang &
Chen, (2013) on a larger population adding to the reliability of self-based assessment. Therefore,
the modification of the lesson plan to include self-assessment of speeches gives an increased
ability to self-reflect when compared to a summative assessment from just the teacher.
The Last Standard addressed is Narrative. Like the previous standard, narrative has
straight forward criteria. Narrative allows students to personally involve themselves in their
learning as individual life skills and experience can be applied to different domains (Kapogianni,
2015). The modified lesson plan provides opportunity to increase the amount of narrative
experienced expressed, through the reviewing and reading of speeches created by peers. The
lesson plan also encourages the student to create a speech informed from narrative. When
students are able to integrate their life skills into learning there is a large increase in effective
educational outcomes (Boud, Cohen & Sampson, 1999). The integration of personalized stories
with curriculum area is also effective in developing intrinsic motivation, as there is a connection
between life skills and learned knowledge (Dwivedi & Harper, 2004). By adapting these changes
