KLB Skillgrow Christian Religious Activities Grade 3 Teacher’s Guide is a self-sufficient book that spells out the outcomes for each strand and sub-strand while offering suggestions on how best to teach all the lessons. It further gives activities that need to be done within the lesson to develop the expected competences. Most of the activities in the Learner’s Workbook are those that require guidance from the teacher but do not make learners passive recipients of knowledge but actively involve them in the learning process. Mostly, they call for prior preparation on the part of both the teacher and the learner and this has been spelt out in this Teacher’s Guide.
This Teacher’s Guide has a step-by-step teaching of every strand and sub-strand with information that will help the teacher achieve desired outcomes for each sub-strand. The Key Inquiry Questions have been provided to focus the teacher to guide the learning towards the expected lesson competences. There is also clear cross-referencing between the Guide and the Learner’s Workbook to make it easy for the teacher to refer to both.
This Guide has useful tips on integrative teaching particularly where multi-ability learning is supposed to be used to cater for learners of varied abilities. The ways to support learners with special needs have been provided. It also has suggested methods of assessment for every lesson to enable the teacher to monitor the progress of the learner using formative assessment tools. Suggested rubrics are included in this Guide to enable the teacher monitor the achievement of learners in light of the expected competences and take necessary action.
The Guide shows links to pertinent and contemporary issues and values to be developed in every lesson. It also shows links to strands, sub-strands or activities in other learning areas. It further gives suggestions to non-formal activities that would enhance non-formal learning and community service learning by the learner.
