Learner assessment | Several things are put into consideration to ensure that patients learn effectively. Continuous assessment tests are offered to patients after the end of each unit. Group works are also incorporated. Home works are also important in this aspect. Angelo and Cross suggest that to ensure that learner assessment is as effective as possible, learners should be exposed to regular tests. The tests do not necessarily have to be those given to individual learners. The tests can be administered to learning groups whereby the learners are classified and subjected to tests as a group rather than as individuals. Apart from that, Angelo and Cross also suggested that the best way through which assessments can be done is through the administering of Continuous Assessment Tests at the end of each learning topic (Angelo and Cross, 2012). The difference in ages among the learners means that the tests they are exposed to should be friendly and considering. Student expectations | The students in question are expected to achieve a lot and also have their high expectations. - The students are expected to learn about the possible causes of breast cancer.
- After learning about the causes of breast cancer, they are expected to identify the possible prevention measures of lung cancer.
- The students are also expected to learn about their role in society regarding other cancer patients and how cancer patients are expected to be treated in society.
- The students, who also happen to be patients, are expected to create cancer awareness by incorporating the knowledge gained from their learning.

Basic teach lesson Educational setting | The main objective of the plan is to achieve some educational objectives simply. Looking at that, it is necessary that all the settings considered in normal schools are also incorporated in this case. The schools to teach the topic in question should be able to provide all it takes for them to be considered fully functional learning institutions. Failure to do that can even demotivate the learning students. The schools should not however only concentrate on learning regarding cancer. They can incorporate other health situations which need a lot of attention. | Instructional objectives | The objectives of the learning should be achieved at the end of all the lessons. At the end of the lessons the learners or rather the patients should be able to teach the society on the need for regular screening regarding breast cancer, create awareness regarding breast cancer and help in the easy identification of potential cancer patients. The purpose of the plan or that of the teaching of the victims is to ensure that health development is achieved within society. Health development can only be achieved in society if awareness is created. Another purpose is to equip the victims with the necessary knowledge which can be used to prevent cancer before its early stages. The learning is also key to the development of other ways through which society can learn about cancer and its adverse effects. | 2-4 hours | - Technologically advanced devices

| Visualization- With visualization, the learners are exposed to visuals of what they are being taught. In this case, the technology applies whereby screens are used to display what is being taught. Professional emphasis- With this teaching approach, the tutors aim at ensuring that professional development is achieved among those being taught. Technology- Technology can be applied whereby those being taught are exposed to a lot of technological devices. They can gain information from social media platforms or even directly from the internet. Print media can also be incorporated whereby printed material is used to teach the learners. Family education Family education aims at promoting knowledge regarding breast cancer to different family members who belong to the same family. Family education ensures that those who have breast cancer create awareness among those who do not have it among the family. That prevents the sickness from spreading to other family members. In this case, a family of five is considered, where there are two parents and three kids. The ages of the family members range from 10-45. Lesson identification Career cluster | Health development | Lesson Title | Education among a family | Learner assessment | Learners are assessed through means which ensure that their understanding is well analyzed. The learners are exposed to several tests, which include continuous assessment tests after each of the lessons. They are also exposed to exams to rank their performance. Another form of assessment used in this case is looking into the change of behavior among them. Considering that the children are in their low levels of education, they cannot be exposed to the same assessment forms as their parents who are way older and working for a living. | Lesson Expectations | The lesson is expected to create awareness among different family members. It is also expected to create awareness to the society at large by ensuring that those who learn from it also teach others who have not had the opportunity to learn with them. The lesson is also expected to equip the learners with the necessary knowledge which can help in the identification of breast cancer signs and symptoms at their early stage. Through doing that, it is expected to help individuals seek cancer treatment at its early stage before it advances. Direct lesson Educational setting | In this case, the setting is the family. The family is the closest unit in society. By bringing the family together, the lesson ensures that a lot of consideration and effort is made regarding the spread of cancer considering that the family members will always wish each other good. Family education is always associated with a lot of keenness since family members do not want to miss on some of the most important concepts. | Instructional objectives | Some of the instructional objectives among the family include: - Creating awareness among the family members regarding breast cancer.
- Establishing the early signs and symptoms of breast cancer.
- Identifying some possible prevention measures of breast cancer.
- Creating awareness in the society regarding breast cancer.
| Purpose and rationale | The purpose of the lesson is to ensure that awareness is completely achieved at the family level. Apart from that, it is always necessary for the family to learn about cancer when it is in its earliest stages. Another purpose of the lesson is to know what to incorporate to manage any available breast cancer among family members. | Duration of the lesson | 2-4 Hours | Materials needed | Learning material in terms of books, technologically advanced devices, internet resources, and health facilities. | Teaching approaches | Incorporating technology, whereby the instructors or tutors ask the learners some questions which they are expected to answer with the help of the internet. Questions and answer approach, whereby the learners are asked questions by the instructors directly and expected to answer the questions immediately. The topics which are not covered can be researched through the internet to come up with answers. |
Staff development In terms of staff development, 30 employees from a certain facility are incorporated in the learning, whereby 15 of them are female. Of the 15 females, five are diagnosed with different stages of breast cancer. Lesson identification Career | Health development | Lesson title | Development among the staff | Learner assessment | The assessment, in this case, should be such that the employees are directly involved in the learning. They can be asked oral questions and be expected to answer them immediately. Huba and Freed suggested that the best assessment is the one which allows the learners to directly participate in the learning process (Huba and Freed, 2000). Another form of assessment expected in this case is the use of tests in terms of CATs or exams at the end of any learning topics. | Lesson expectations | One main expectation of the lesson is the equipping of skills and knowledge to deal with breast cancer. The creation of awareness among the employees is also expected. Another expectation is whereby it is expected that the victims are taught on how to manage breast cancer. Those not suffering from breast cancer are expected to learn how they can prevent themselves from suffering from the infection. The employees are also taught on the importance of ensuring that they work together especially in decision making. Direct lesson Educational setting | The setting, in this case, is the employees in an organization who require knowledge regarding breast cancer. It is necessary to create awareness among employees or workers since it puts them in a position to work effectively and in unity since they are bound together by the fact that there is a common menace among them (Danielsson and Bodin, 2008). | Instructional objectives | After the lesson, it is expected that; - Employees become aware of the menace that is breast cancer.
- The employees create awareness among themselves and society at large.
- The victims of breast cancer gain knowledge regarding how they can manage breast cancer.
| Purpose and rationale | The purpose of the lesson is to equip employees with the necessary information regarding breast cancer to the point that they can manage it at all levels. | Duration | 2-4 hours | Materials | - Library materials
- Internet resources and sources
- Technologically advanced devices.
| Teaching approaches | - Affective domain, whereby the learners are directly involved in the learning process through participating in the learning process.
- Using the questions and answers method, whereby the learners are asked questions by the tutors after which they answer immediately.
- Using experts in the field of cancer to counsel the workers.
