Combining Careers Week and AQA GCSE Business Studies Unit 4 revision, this double-lesson gives students the opportunity to apply their learning to a real-world scenario.
Mr Thompson is a highly qualified but disillusioned Physics teacher. Students will research alternative careers based on his interests and qualifications. They will also apply their knowledge of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, financial and non-financial motivators, recruitment, and training to recommend ways to reinvigorate Mr Thompson’s enthusiasm and help the school to retain him.
The PowerPoint also includes exam-style questions and answers, and the lesson plan includes suggestions to begin student discussion.
This unit is ideal for students who have completed Unit 4 (Human Resources) and ties-in well with Careers Week. Students will need access to the internet to research careers.
My students thoroughly enjoyed this lesson. I hope yours will too.
