Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
Collaboration: Ask learners in mixed ability groups to distinguish between the major basic Services in the building as; 1. Cold-water Supply which provides cold water from the company's main to fixtures and fittings such as taps using appropriate sizes of pipes and jointing so as to prevent leakage and loss of pressure in the system. 2. Electricity Supply which conducts electrical energy to fixtures, fittings and appliances such as air-conditioners and Lighting bulbs through cables with adequate insulations so as not to allow leakage and cause electric shocks. 3. Waste Disposal System which ensures sanitation by disposing liquid and solid waste through the WC, manhole, septic tank, soak-aways and the public drain system. This method is to facilitate effective participation by different Learners, namely, the Approaching Proficiency, the Proficient and the Highly Proficient. Assessment (3.3.2.AS.2). The document marks these depth-of-knowledge levels for this indicator: Level 2 Skills of conceptual understanding; Level 3 Strategic reasoning. Teaching and Learning Materials: - Surfing on the Internet to find information about Services in the Building. - The use of simulation (virtual) to illustrate the functioning of Services installations in the building. - The use of Flip Charts with Services Lay-Out Plans to show distribution of basic services in the building. - Surfing on the Internet to find finishes used on buildings - The use of simulation (virtual) to illustrate functions of finishes on building - Charts, - Pictures - Illustrations - Sample of finishes - Scale models.
