Practical SessionFocus Specific Issues

Curriculum Management Process

CAPS TLAs

Step 1•Get the pass rates of all schools in the identified subjects, in all grades, for the past 5 years.

Step 2•Link all the subject performance, in all grades, to specific teachers.

Step 3•Analyse the results to identify the patterns of schools, and particular, the well performing schools, and teachers.

Step 4• Identify 5 levels of performance, and

plot the data of schools and teachers.- Level 1 = Low performance- Level 2 = Above ‘low’ performance- Level 3 = Average performance- Level 4 = Below ‘top’ performance- Level 5 = Top performance

Step 5• Identify the teachers who are performing at level 4 and/or 5.

Step 6• Invite these teachers to first TLAs session as well as the Subject Advisors of specific subjects

Step 7• Introduce the TLAs strategy to these teachers.

Step 8•Discuss the 3 Domains with 15 Areas with the selection group of teachers and SAs.

15. Grades, Marks, Targets, etc.

Step 9•Divide the curriculum into 34 Chunks (explain the logic of 34), with clear uniqueness of each of these chunks

Grade 8 2.94% 23.5%

Grade 9

Grade 10

Grade 11

Grade 12

Step 10• Get the group to ‘rate’

themselves on a 1 – 5 scale (1 = low; 5 = top) as to their ‘quality of teaching’ in all the 34 chunks.

Step 11• Invite those who ‘rated’

themselves as 4 and/or 5, to agree to construct a week Lesson Plan on these chunks, in line with the 15 TLAs areas.

Step 12• Identify a ‘Lead Teacher’ in each of the 34 chunks, with supportive teachers also rated at 4/5.

Integrating ‘Chunking’ with TLAS

Step 13•Lead Teacher will facilitate the collation of his/her chunks from team members.

Step 14• Lead Teacher will facilitate

an agreement on the construction of the GROUP CHUNK, but not nullifying the individual chunks.

Step 15• Project will share all the 34

GROUP CHUNKS with participating schools, with additional ‘individual chunks’ from team members, identifying the ‘uniqueness’ of each of these chunks.

Step 16• Lead Teachers will facilitate the

team that is going to present the GROUP CHUNK the Saturday before each of the chunks will be delivered in the school, through setting up Communities of Practice.

Step 17•Video record the presentation of 2 hours, to be available to all the schools in the project.

Step 18•Train SLT and SMT on how to M&E the implementation of the TLAs.

Step 19•School register to download and comments in order to improve the ‘chunk’.

Step 20•Lead Teacher will facilitate, with the team, the evaluation of the comments.

Step 21•Lead Teacher will facilitate, with the team, the adjustment of the chunk and share with the project schools.

Step 22•The Subject Advisors will develop PD session for schools, where appropriate.

Step 23•The Subject Advisors will get feedback from HoDs on support needed by individual schools.

Step 24•The Subject Advisors and Lead Teachers & teams will evaluate learner achievement.

Step 25• The Subject Advisors and

Lead Teachers & teams will make recommendation to Project team how to improve process.
