Specific Learning Outcomes (SLOs)

By the end of this sub-strand, the learner should be able to:

  • area skills for the CSL activity
  • Identify resources required for the activity (locally available materials)
  • Stagger the activities across the term (set dates and time for the activities) Communicate to learners, parents/caregivers\guardians, school administration, teachers and other relevant stakeholders in the school community
  • Identify and develop assessment tools 2) Implementation of CSL Activity Assigning roles to learners. Ensure every learner actively participates in the activity observe learners as they carry out the CSL activity and record feedback Use an appropriate assessment tool to assess both the process and the product (assess leamer's work from the beginning to the end product) Assess the targeted core competencies, values and subject skills
