Teacher’s Handbook In English On Exemplars Based On Learning Outcomes

FOREWORD

The syllabi and textbooks developed by National Council of Educational Research and Training as a follow up of National Curriculum Framework, 2005 has completed a long journey familiarising teachers with the rationale of creating learner focused classroom transactions. Teacher Handbook in English on Exemplars Based on Learning Outcomes for upper primary stage is developed in consonance with National Curriculum Framework for School Education and subsequent document of Learning Outcomes.

Quality enhancement in school education is a major concern for over all development of the learners. The system of education should ensure enabling conditions for learners to learn and progress. We have strongly recommended the implementation of Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation in schools, so that teachers can understand the learning progression of individual learner. Along with this, Learning Outcomes have been developed so that the expected learning of the learners can be mapped or assessed.

Learning Outcomes are organised by grade level and are measurable in terms of the academic and socio-personal development of the learners. The pedagogical processes are suggested along with outcomes in the document. Teachers can supplement the teaching-learning process with local specific resources.

This handbook is developed for the teachers as an academic input for teaching language education and realising the learning outcomes in English for elementary stage through meaningful and relevant activities.

The realisation of the goals of Learning Outcomes will pave the way in providing access to quality education in the schools. We hope teachers will make use of this handbook purposefully.
