Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
Communication: Organize a whole class and let learners outline the schedule of tasks involved in installing electricity. Collaboration: Identification of ability and positioning to ensure mixed ability. Through structured grouping [GESI] ask Learners to discuss the schedule of works involved in the installation of electricity in the building. This method is to ensure effective participation in teaching and learning by different categories of Learners including Approaching Proficiency, the Proficient and the Highly Proficient. Experiential Learning: Embark on a field trip to a Site where installation of electricity is going on for Learners to observe or learn about schedule of works involved in the installation of electricity. For Electricity Supply Learners will observe and report on; 1. The agreement signed by both Services providers and the Owner of the property. 2. The variety of materials, appliances, fixtures and fittings such as poles, cables of different sizes, meter, consumer unit with circuit breakers, earthing materials and thunder arresting materials etc. provided for installing Electricity. 3. The order or sequence of installing these fixtures and appliances. 4. The safety precautions integrated by including wiring for earthing, lightning arrestor and circuit breakers. 5. The ducts, trunking and excavations done to contain service lines Assessment (3.3.2.AS.3). 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.
