• 3 curriculums• Competencies• Learning model
P 37
Curriculum is designed and interpreted in a three-stage process: as the national curriculum, the school curriculum, and the classroom curriculum.
School Curriculum (P. 37)The national curriculum provides the
framework and common direction for schools…
School Curriculum (P. 37)It gives schools the scope flexibility
and authority they need to design and shape their curriculum so that teaching and learning is meaningful and beneficial to their particular communities of students.
School Curriculum (P. 37)In turn, the design of each school’s curriculum should allow teachers the scope to make interpretations in response to the particular needs, interests, and talents of individuals and groups of students in their classes.

The Competencies
Task
Add all the numbers from 1 to 20Eg 1+2 =3 3+3=6 6+4=7
GO
The answer is …• 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15+1
6+17+18+19+20 =
1+20 = 21 2+19 =21 etcThere are 10 pairs all adding to 21So… 21 X 10 = 210
There is always a simpler way of doing things, if you look for it.

Competencies are the core of the curriculum
The competencies are the core of the curriculum
The competencies are the core of the curriculum
“The key competencies are both end and means. They are a focus for learning – and they enable learning.” P38
The competencies are the core of the curriculum
“Each board of trustees, through principal and staff, is required to develop and implement a curriculum for students in years 1to 13 …That supports students to develop the key competencies set out in pages” Page 12-13
The competencies are the core of the curriculum
“When designing and reviewing their curriculum, schools will need to consider how to encourage and monitor the development of the key competencies.” P38
The competencies are the core of the curriculum
““They will also need to clarify the conditions that will help or hinder the development of the
competencies, the extent to which they are being demonstrated, and how the school will evaluate
the effectiveness of approaches intended to strengthen them. P38
How is your school going in terms of….
1.. delivering the competencies?
2.. monitoring the development of the competencies?
3.. evaluating the effectiveness of the programmes intended to strengthen the competencies?
Understanding the competencies
• Thinking• Relating to others• Using language symbols and text• Managing self• Participating and contributing
Managing Self
Attitudes/dispositionsKnowledge/UnderstandingSkills
Managing self is associated with self-motivation, a “can-do” attitude, and with students seeing themselves as capable learners. It is integral to self assessment.
Students who manage themselves are enterprising, resourceful, reliable, and resilient. They establish personal goals, make plans, manage projects and set high standards. They have strategies for meeting challenges. They know when to lead, when to follow and when and how to act independently.
This is a complex mixture, students will not exhibit this
competency in any consistent manner, their attitudes,
understandings and skills will change from day to day, context
to context, and situation to situation.
