Two Simple Thngs

As we progress in the third term, we face the final lap of the academic session. I hope this is a time for doing an analysis of the performance level of each child thus far. This is the term where we can do two significant things before the kids move to the next grade.

First, we need to ensure that we correct any error in understanding our kids might have developed during the course of the year. You cannot allow such misunderstandings to go with them to the next grade. Keep in mind that education and the content of the curriculum is scaffolded and failure to master the content will affect the scheme of the next session. So go back to the results of the C.A.T and the exams, analyze student performance and use your findings to prepare revision exercises once the children are back in school.

Secondly as much as you will teach the content of your present scheme, this is the term where you want your kids to exercise with the material they will face next session.  Allowing the kids to chew some of the coming content will put them in a better frame of mind to wrestle with and effectively assimilate content in the next class. You can do this by simply using terms, giving project work, group work, brain teasers etc. that are reflections of the next class.

I sincerely wish you success this term.
