  • Linking Curriculum Materials in Teaching and Learning

    This video showcases how different curriculum materials—such as the syllabus, teacher’s guide, and learner’s book—are used in a competency-based curriculum (CBC) classroom. It demonstrates how teachers reference the syllabus to plan lessons, use the teacher’s guide for instructional strategies, and engage learners through activities in the learner’s book. The video highlights the seamless connection between these materials, ensuring that learning objectives are effectively translated into classroom practice.

    What to Expect to Learn from the Video:
    • How teachers use the syllabus to guide lesson planning and instructional delivery.

    • This session video highlights the focus of competency-based learning. It explores the importance of linking teaching and learning to real-life. You will discover practical strategies such as use of scenarios in teaching and learning to enhance learner conceptualisation of real-life situations. It will enable you help the learner to transfer learning from the classroom to the community.

    • Assessment Instructions for Learners:

      • Read the Clues Carefully:

        • Use the given definitions and descriptions to identify the correct terms related to scenario-based learning and competency-based education.
      • Fill in the Crossword Grid:

        • Write each answer in the appropriate horizontal or vertical space.
        • Ensure correct spelling, as incorrect spelling may affect scoring.
      • Apply Critical Thinking:

        • Use Bloom’s Taxonomy to analyse, evaluate, and apply concepts from the learning material.
        • Some answers require understanding definitions, while others need deeper reasoning and real-world application.
      • Cross-Check Your Answers:
