GES to roll out PLC sessions across SHSs and SHTSs

Image
The Ghana Education Service (GES) has initiated plans for a national roll out of Professional Learning Community (PLC) sessions across all Senior High Schools (SHSs) and Senior High Technical Schools (SHTSs) in Ghana.  This is aimed at strengthening teachers’ understanding and adherence to the National Teachers’ Standards (NTS) and preparing them for the introduction of the new secondary education curriculum which will be rolled-out in the 2024/25 academic year.  GES piloted the use of PLC weekly sessions in 12 SHS and SHTS in January 2022, using structured handbooks developed in partnership with the National Teaching Council (NTC). A recent evaluation found that these weekly sessions had a significant impact on improving teaching and learning in these 12 schools, providing a strong evidence-base for the national scale-up of this approach.     To ensure the smooth institutionalisation of the PLC sessions across all schools, GES organized a five-day training s...

For that matter, test taking probably is among the most vivid memories of your college experience. If you are like most people who have spent many years in school, you have strong or mixed feelings about tests. In this chapter, we try to dispel some of the discomfort you might feel about tests and show how they can be effective tools in your classroom.   This chapter introduced you to some techniques for assessing student learning. Its key terms and main points were: Norm-Referenced and Criterion-Referenced Tests A test that determines a student's place or rank among other students is called a norm-referenced test (NRT). This type of test conveys information about how a student performed compared to a large sample of pupils at the same age or grade.   A test that compares a student's performance to a standard of mastery is called a c...
