As a teacher I always find it useful to write my own answer to the coursework when following new BTEC specifications to use as a suitable model for my pupils. This resource contains my interpretation of a suitable visual aid to help the learners whilst presenting their business plan.
This resource attached is an example of a powerpoint presentation with speaker notes which forms the visual aid to meet learning aim B component 2. This resource is a business plan summary of my resource created for learning aim A component 2 regarding an idea to run a dog walking business.
This resource alone does not meet the whole learning aim B criteria as this criteria also assesses the learners’ communication and presentation skills. Evidence such as a short video of the learners’ presentation (approx 5 minutes) should be included when providing evidence for the grade awarded.
Also included is a learner checklist of tasks for this learning aim, and an observation form designed to be completed by teachers and / or peers during the presentations, which will be used for learning aim C (the review).
As a teacher i always find it useful to write my own answer to the coursework when following new BTEC specifications. This resource contains my interpretation of all of the criteria (distinction grade) for unit 1 learning aim A of the new BTEC Tech award in Enterprise component 2. i have been teaching BTEC since 2007 and so am confident that my interpretation of the specification is correct. Language used in places is not what is expected for a 14-16 year old, however can be used as a useful guide.
Learning aim A component 2 appears to be the biggest part of this component in regards to the critical content that needs to be covered. I have spoken to BTEC to clarify what they mean by plan a micro-enterprise ‘activity’. The response was that it can be a enterprise plan for a one-off activity e.g. an event or something that has a finishing date to the enterprise or it could be a plan for a new-start up micro-business. Providing it meets the critical content any of the two versions can be done. My preference would be an enterprise activity that has a finish date.
In that case i have designed two coursework answers for this learning aim. One that focuses on a plan for a full start up business (A dog walking company based in Southampton running 6 days a week all year round) and the other for a micro-enterprise activity that lasts a few weeks (dog walking enterprise activity for the 6 week summer holiday).
As a bonus resource I have also included a step by step pupil checklist to help pupils self assess themselves whilst completing each task within this part of the coursework.
As a teacher i always find it useful to write my own answer to the coursework when following new BTEC specifications. This resource contains my interpretation of all of the criteria (distinction grade) for all learning aims in component 1 of the new BTEC Tech award in Enterprise.
The businesses that i have used are fake and is used as a demonstration on how the more able pupils can access the top grade. I have been teaching BTEC since 2007 and so am confident that my interpretation of the specification is correct. Language used in places is not what is expected for a 14-16 year old, however can be used as a useful guide.

A full lesson including lesson plan, a great way to introduce critical path analysis to students.
The main activity involves students using resources attached to physically create a critical path analysis for the business project (in this case XBox one launch, to which the project can easily be changed). Students create the diagram by using help cards and CPA cut outs being able to draw the CPA, and enter the ESTs, identifying the critical path. There is an extension opportunity to look at LFTs plus an interactive quiz at the end. A great resource for talk less teaching focusing on student-led investigations.
