ORGANISATION OF THE REVISED CURRICULUM
 Strands are the broad areas/sections of the subject to be
studied.
 Sub-strands are the topics within each strand under which
the content is organised.
 Content standard refers to the pre-determined level of
knowledge, skill and/or attitude that a learner attains by a set
stage of education.
 Indicator is a clear outcome or milestone that learners have
to exhibit in each year to meet the content standard
expectation. The indicators represent the minimum expected
standard in a year.
 Exemplar: support and guidance which clearly explains the
expected outcomes of an indicator and suggests what teaching
and learning activities could take, to support the
facilitators/teachers in the delivery of the curriculum.

PHILOSOPHY

 Teaching Philosophy
 Two Philosophical Ideas: Developmental theory and the Social Constructivism.
 Children learn and develop language at their own pace as they interact with the
social environment around them. A good social environment promotes language
development.

 Learning Philosophy
As facilitators, teachers should promote interaction and
make learners be active in their own learning through
participatory and thematic approaches.

Learners’ differences in the language classroom should


provide the teacher with the background to support children.

53
What is Assessment?
 The process of gathering and interpreting information about learning and
using the information to make decisions about teaching.
 A way of finding out whether teaching and learning objectives are achieved
and the extent to which learning has taken place.

 In the context of the English Language curriculum, assessment serves


the overall purpose of:
 providing information about learners’ progress and achievements in
relation to the Learning Targets and Objectives, thereby helping learners,
teachers and parents understand learners’ strengths and weaknesses, and
plan for further improvement.
Assessment may serve formative (assessment “for” and “as” learning) or
summative (assessment “of” learning)purposes.
Forms of Assessment
Formative assessment is on- Summative assessment is more
going assessment which formal overall assessment that
teachers conduct continuously happens only periodically (e.g. at
to look for specific information the end of a school term or
about learners’ progress to schoolyear) to measure

comprehensive summary of
learners’ achievements at that
particular point of time.

Achievement gains are maximized in context where educators
increase the accuracy of classroom assessments, provide
students with frequent informative feedback (versus infrequent
judgmental feedback), and involve students deeply in the
classroom assessment, record keeping, and communication process.

In short, these gains are maximized where teachers apply the


principles of assessment for learning.”

•How do we do
assessment for
learning?
59
Five instructional routines that support
teachers to elicit formative evidence of
learning in the classroom.

(1)Eliciting evidence through activating prior knowledge.


(2)Eliciting evidence through academic dialogue.
(3)Eliciting evidence through questioning.
(4)Eliciting evidence through observation and analysis of
student work.
(5)Eliciting evidence through peer and self-assessment

60
Assessment For Learning
• The paper before you contains statements
that can guide the teacher to do assessment
for learning. In your groups, write as many
points as you can to match the heading
provide for your group.
• Share your work with the whole group for
discussion.
61
Eliciting evidence through activating prior knowledge.

1. Identify students’ prior knowledge;

2. Understand students’ depth of knowledge;

3. Identify missing elements in skill or understanding;

4. Elicit misconceptions; and

5. Clarify where to begin instruction.

62
Eliciting evidence through academic dialogue

1. Develop and uphold classroom norms that promote a safe expression of ideas,
including emerging ideas or student misconceptions;

2. Establish opportunities to explore multiple viewpoints and solutions;

3. Ensure dialogue allows for equitable participation by all students;

4. Establish consistent use of both large and small group dialogue; and

5. Integrate opportunities for students to lead discussions or elicit evidence during


discussions.

63
Eliciting evidence through questioning

1. Plan questions in advance of the lesson that will prompt student thinking
throughout a lesson.

2. Use questions to engage in assessment conversations.

3. Apply the research on effective questioning. Use wait time, integrate


questions that encourage higher-order thinking, and employ pre-thinking
strategies (pair/share, pre-write) when asking cognitively complex questions

64
Eliciting evidence through observation and
analysis of student work.

Using multiple representations of learning helps teachers understand a more


complete picture of each student’s understanding. When planning to gather
evidence of learning, consider learning opportunities where student thinking can be
observed, including:

• Drawing • Diagrams • Graphs

• Concept maps • Model building • Investigations

• Student writing • Graphic organizers • Detailed outlines

• Student notes

65
Eliciting evidence through peer and self-assessment

• Teachers are not the only ones who elicit evidence of learning. In a formative
assessment classroom, students play a key role in eliciting and using evidence of
learning—through both self- and peer assessment.

66
Session 2.4: Use of a variety
of assessment strategies
Activity 5: Group work
 Be in 6 groups of 4-5.
 Each group should take a particular level.
 Select a content standard from a specific strand (e.g.
group 1 for level 1, strand 1).
 Give each group 15mins to design sample assessment
tasks.

• What informed your thinking? As a teacher what assumptions and
believes do we have concerning: Girls? Boys? Children with disabilities?
• What are the implications of these assumptions on our learners?

Inclusive Education
IE is more than the education of persons with
disabilities in the regular school

It is about creating equitable opportunities in the


school and the classroom so that all children can
realise their potential.

No child's learning should be curtailed on


grounds of gender, ability, disability, language,
religion, wealth, status, etc.

80
BECOMING AN INCLUSIVE TEACHER

How to ensure inclusive learning


Universal Learning Design

Principles of universal learning design

• Multiple means of representation to give learners various ways of


acquiring information and knowledge;
• Multiple means of expression to provide learners alternatives for
demonstrating what they know; and
• Multiple means of engagement to tap into learners’ interests, offer
appropriate challenges, and increase motivation

82
Different Pathways to Learning (UNESCO, 2004)

Pathways Children think and learn through:

Verbal or Written and spoken words, memory and recall


linguistics
Visuals Visual aids; use of art, easily-read maps, charts,
diagrams
Logical or Reasoning & calculation: use of numbers, abstract
mathematical patterns and precise measurement

Body or Movement, games and drama


Kinaesthetic
Music or Sounds, rhyme, rhythm and repetition
rhythmic
Interpersonal Group and cooperative work; understanding social
situations and relationships
Intro-personal Personal concentration and reflection; working alone
and being aware of their own feelings, strengths,
and weaknesses.
83
Differentiated Instruction

GROUP WORK :

Refer to Teacher Resource Pack

84
Differentiated Instruction

It means creating multiple paths so that learners


of different abilities, interests or learning needs
experience equally appropriate ways to learn.

85
Take home assignment

• Use the knowledge gained from the differentiation assignment to


develop a plan for a lesson.
• The assignment should be ready for the lesson plan session tomorrow.

Discussion Questions
• Mr. Kofi the Class 3 teacher is generally happy with the performance of most children in his English Language class
but not Gary. Gary is the first to raise up his hand when a question is posed, he finishes his class exercise within
time, but his performance is the worst that the teacher has ever seen. In one of the lessons, Gary who had
decided not to raise up his hand was called by the teacher to respond to a question. To the teacher’s surprise,
Gary after a moment of silence voiced out to his teacher, “I hate English Language!” and in tears, he added…,
“don’t ask me questions please.” The teacher is left wondering what might be wrong.

During the INSET the teacher presented his plight to his colleague teachers. What is the teacher not doing right?
What will you advise the teacher to do to support Gary’s learning (suggestion should include practical classroom
strategies)?

87
