Source document note: The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:

indicator text - p.141: printed 'K2.3.2.1.1' under the heading 'SUB STRAND 3: MY NATIONAL AND CIVIC VALUES', beside a standard cell coded K2.3.3.1 and directly above K2.3.3.1.2, so the structural reading is K2.3.3.1.1; transcribed as printed and left for a human
indicator text - printed "K2.3.2.1.1" on p.141. Renumbered to "K2.3.3.1.1": the printed code repeats a code already used for a different indicator, and disagrees with this page own sub-strand heading. The target slot is the one gap in that sub-strand run.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

*
Follow basic procedures of the community circle time (as in K2.1.1.1.1) and introduce the theme for the week. Display a conversational poster related to the theme, have learners observe the pictures and share their thoughts freely about good behaviours and acceptable practices that we should exhibit as Ghanaian learners.
*
Put learners in small groups and have them dramatize appropriate behaviour in society. E.g. greeting when you meet someone. Showing hospitality to foreigners and using please when requesting for assistance.
