This document outlines 3 lesson plans that were created or modified by an organization called YMW to better align with employer needs. The first is on cooking around the world and was converted by YMW. The second is on advanced spreadsheets where the teacher provided key concepts to cover and YMW created the lesson. The third lesson on social media and careers was designed from scratch with direct input from an employer.
8. 2. Advanced IT Spreadsheets -
Before
Occasionally we are unable to convert the
lesson plan due to its content or nature.
Instead we simply ask the delivering teacher
what key concepts they need to get across in
the lesson and we work from there.
In the following Advanced Spreadsheet lesson
we were given the following list of concepts
that needed to be covered in the lesson plan:
• Filtering
• Graphs
• Tables
• Averages
• Percentages
• Conditional formatting
• Report writing
• Communication

A bespoke commission
Sometimes a school will want something
completely new and straight from the
horse’s mouth!
In these instances we work with an
employer to create a lesson plan that is
informed by employer experience but that
fits into curriculum need.
This is a lesson plan an employer helped us
design to highlight the perils of not
protecting your online identity and the
impact that can have on your employment
chances later on!
