INTRODUCTION
Part 1
The vision of the basic education curriculum reforms is to enable every Kenyan to
become an engaged, empowered and ethical citizen. This will be achieved by providing
every Kenyan learner with the right standards in the skills and knowledge that they
deserve, and which they need in order to thrive in life. This shall be accomplished
through the provision of excellent teaching, school environments, resources and a
sustainable visionary curriculum that provides every learner with high quality learning.
In order to do this, teachers must engage the learners in exciting activities that allow
them to use and progressively demonstrate the competencies outlined in
the curriculum.
This Teacher’s Guide has been designed to do just that. It places the learner at the centre
of learning. The Teacher’s Guide provides pathways for identifying and nurturing the
talents and interests of learners early enough to prepare them for the world of work,
career progression and sustainability.
Based on a competency-based curriculum, the Teacher’s Guide, provides methods of
assessment, promoting of national values and national cohesion, and their integration
into the curriculum. The teacher should nurture the learner’s potential through the
learning pathways that are provided in this book. This is for the recognition of the
learner’s potential, gifts and talents. At the end of the day, no child should be labelled
a failure.
The Book Structure
This Teacher’s Guide is organised into two main sections. Part 1 is the general
introduction section detailing pedagogical issues. Part 2 highlights the strands as
outlined in the Curriculum Design. It gives in details the expected learning outcomes,
interesting teaching and learning activities, tips on handling the special needs
learners, digital oriented exercises, informative notes to teachers and extra exercises
for gifted learners.
Organisation of the strands
Each strand consists of the following:
1. Strand,
2. Sub-strand,
2
Approved by KICD - 2018 Edition
3. Suggested number of lessons,
4.Speciclearningoutcomes,
5. Key inquiry questions,
6. Core competences to be developed,
7. Links to pcis,
8. Links to other subjects,
9. Link to values,
10. Suggested learning resources,
11. Suggested community service learning,
12. Suggested assessment.
1. Strands
These represent the key areas in Art and craft Activities that the learners need to cover.
2. Sub-strands
Each strand has a sub-strand area which indicates the scope of coverage of what a
teacher should teach and learner should learn in line with stated learning objectives.
3. Suggested number of lessons
These are number of lessons suggested for each sub-strand.
4. Speciclearningoutcomes
By the end of the course, the learner should be able to:
a. Demonstrate basic literacy and numeracy skills for learning.
b. Communicate appropriately using verbal and/or non-verbal modes in a variety
of contexts.
c. Demonstrate appropriate etiquette in social relationships.
d. Apply creativity and critical thinking skills in problem solving.
e. Explore the immediate environment for learning and enjoyment.
f. Practice hygiene, nutrition, sanitation and safety skills to promote health and
wellbeing.
g. Demonstrate the acquisition of emotional, physical, spiritual, aesthetic and
moral development for balanced living.
h. Demonstrate appreciation of the country’s rich and diverse cultural heritage
for harmonious co-existence.
i. Apply digital literacy skills for learning and enjoyment.
5. Key inquiry questions
Thesequestionsarethatmeanttomakethelearnerswanttondoutthesolutions
in the course of the lesson.

Approved by KICD - 2018 Edition
6. Core competences to be developed
A competency-based approach enables meaningful connections within and
between subject areas. The seven core competencies to be achieved by every
learner are:
• Communication and collaboration,
• Self-efcacy,
• Critical thinking and problem solving,
• Citizenship,
• Digital literacy,
• Learning to learn,
• Creativity and imagination.
They should be achieved once learners have met all the learning objectives in the lesson.
7. Links to PCIs
Instructions should set out an approach to pertinent and contemporary issues.
Examples are life skills, citizenship skills, animal welfare, environmental education
and many more.
8. Links to other subjects
It is important for learners to gain an understanding of the interconnections
between different subjects so that learning in each subject is reinforced across
the curriculum. This platform does exactly that. It prepares the teacher to pass this
information to the learners so that they are aware.
9. Links to attitudes and values
Values are standards that guide an individual on how to respond or behave in a
given circumstance. The teaching of values will facilitate the achievement of the
curriculum reforms’ vision with respect to moulding ethical citizens. Truly engaging
with the learning requires appropriate attitudes and values that relate to the lesson.
10. Attention to special education needs
This section provides a way that the teacher can cater for the different special
education needs with a consideration to the nature and requirements of the lesson.
11. Suggested resources
This section lists the teaching and learning resources needed for the strand. It also
indicates the alternative teaching aids and materials for learners with special needs
and for schools with limited resources.
12. Suggested community service learning
The learner is part of a larger community, and therefore education should lead
the youth of the country to accept membership of this community with all the
obligationsandresponsibilities,rightsandbenetsthatthismembershipentails.
13. Assessment
This section contains the questions and suggested answers to assess the lesson
outcome.

Approved by KICD - 2018 Edition
Organisation of the lessons
The lesson has the following key parts:
- Lesson number,
- Speciclearningoutcomes,
- Information for the teacher,
- Learning resources,
- Introduction,
- Learning activities,
- Conclusion,
- Assessment.
1. Lesson number
This gives the number of the lessons.
2. Lesson outcomes
This section has the learning objective related to the particular lesson according to
the Curriculum design.
3. Information for the teacher
This section gives a basic outline of what the lesson is about and what the teacher
needs to keep in mind.
4. Learning resources
This section lists the teaching aids needed for the lesson. It also indicates the
alternative teaching aids and materials for learners with special needs and for
schools with limited resources.
5. Introduction
This section provides additional content for the teacher to have a deeper
understanding of the topic. It also provides a guideline on how to start the lesson.
6. Learning activities
This section in this Teacher’s Guide contains both a section for the learner’s activity
as well as the teacher’s activity. The learner’s activity is supposed to guide the
teacher using this guide on what to tell the learners to do so you can teach from a
point.
Learning activities are expected to engage learners in an interactive learning
process as much as possible (learner-centred and participatory approach). They
outline guidelines on how to facilitate the learner’s activities in a way that promotes
the development of core competences, values, skills and attitudes. It also provides
a way that the teacher can cater for the different special education needs with
a consideration to the nature and requirements of the lesson. This section also
contains suggestions of remedial activities for slow learners. The teacher is also
guided on how to instruct with an approach to PCIs.
5
Approved by KICD - 2018 Edition
Suggestions on when to arrange the learners in groups have been made in this
Teacher’s Guide. The teacher is encouraged to group the learners during all lessons.
This is because it allows all learners to participate and develop their communication
skills. However, bear in mind the special educational needs, gender balance and
the ability of the learners.
7. Conclusion
This section tells the teacher how to end the class.
8. Assessment
This section contains suggestions that assess the lesson learning objectives.
They can be in form of questions, demonstrations, drawings, written exercises or
portfolio.
The Teaching Process
Art and Craft at every grade is structured in strands and sub-strands. They are further broken
down into lessons.
• A lesson is aligned with activities.
Each lesson has learning outcomes whose achievement is pursued by all teaching
and learning activities undertaken by both the teacher and the learners.
• Some learning outcomes focus on knowledge and understanding. These are
associated with Lower Order Thinking Skills or LOTS.
For example:
By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:
a. Observe sample containers.
b. Print fabrics.
• Other learning outcomes focus on acquisition of skills, attitudes and values. They are
associated with Higher Order Thinking Skills or HOTS. These learning outcomes are
actually considered to be the ones targeted by the new curriculum. For example:
By the end of the lesson, learners should be able to:
a. Enjoy making necklaces using beading.
b. Experiment with local materials to make different things.
There are Learning Activities that are expected to engage learners in an interactive
learning process as much as possible (learner-centred and participatory approach).
This section also contains suggestions of remedial activities for slow learners. There
are suggestions of activities for fast learners too. In this digital era, there are activities
where computer devices are necessary.
Each lesson has links to other subjects, its assessment criteria and the materials (or
resources) that are expected to be used in the teaching and learning process.

Teaching Methods in Art and Craft Activities
It is important to discuss some of the methods commonly used during instruction of Art
and craft. These are:
i. Demonstration
ii. Questioning technique
iii. Role play
iv. Individual work
v. Discussion
vi. Discovery
These methods have their own merits when used at the right moment and for the
appropriate audience. An attempt has been made to spell out how and when to make
use of some of the methods outlined in the teaching of Art and Craft.
i. Demonstration
When the learners are expected to make models or weave items, it is necessary for
theteachertodemonstraterstwhathe/sheexpectsofthem.Whentheteacheris
demonstrating, say for example how a mat is woven, he/she is to ensure that all the
learners can see what he/she is doing.
It may be necessary to call the pupils around the demonstration table for all to see.
During demonstration, the learners could ask some learners to help in handling and
setting up the teaching aids. The teacher should then outline the procedure he/she
expects the learners to follow as they carry out their projects either individually or in
groups.
ii.Questioning technique
Thisisoneof themostimportantmethodsof teachingandndsitsapplicationin
nearly all subjectsin a school. Good modeof  questioningwill fulll several important
aspects of a lesson:
• Increases learners participation.
• Reduces teacher talk considerably.
• Creates enthusiasm and motivation in the learners.
• Encourages creative thinking.
• Develops skills in organisation of ideas.
• Keeps the class active and lively.
• Promotes interaction between the teacher and his/her learners, among the
learners and with teaching aids.
When a teacher asks a question to one of his/her learners and the learner gives a
wrong answer, the teacher should not say ‘no’ or rebuke the learners. This withdraws
them from further learning and concentration because his/her answer was honest
based on what he/she thought was right. Instead, the teacher should follow the
learner’s answer to detect any reason that led to his/ her wrong answer. In this
7
Approved by KICD - 2018 Edition
process, the teacher will discover where the learner went wrong and help him/her.
Alternatively, the teacher’s question could have been ambiguous or vague and as a
result, he/she will need to rephrase the question.
iii. Role play
This method can be applied in teaching of painting and colouring. The teacher can ask
learners to demonstrate before the whole class how to mix paints. This way, the learners
will fully interact with one another and with the teacher during the lesson.
iv. Individual work
Individual work by learners begins when the teacher assigns a few problems to
them during classwork. This is the application session whereby every individual
learner is expected to work on his or her own.
During this session, the teacher moves round marking learner’s work and giving
individual attention to those in difculties. Individual work is then extended to the
homework assignment where the learners will be expected to solve problems
outside the classroom. Individual work encourages the learners to go through
learnt concepts alone. This reveals to the teacher how a learner would perform after
instruction. It is possible to conclude whether the lesson achieved the expected
objective or whether a remedial lesson is needed.
v. Discussion
In discussion, a teacher acts as a facilitator during learner’s interaction. He or she
poses the topic for discussion and acts as a resource person. Discussion educates
and trains the learners to apply knowledge, think critically, solve problems easily
and obtain relevant information easily and make pertinent decisions.
An effective discussion is characterised by the following:
i. A group atmosphere should prevail where all are actively involved.
ii.Participationshouldbecriticalandreectivewithlotsofcooperation.
iii. All in class should share in decision making and conclusions reached.
iv. The teacher’s role is that of a guide and sometimes that of a facilitator.
vi. Discovery method
Through manipulation of teaching resources and a study of a number of patterns
and relationships, learners discover concepts in art craft. Discovery can arise through
organised work and discussions.
Note:
The two most important documents in planning to teach are the schemes of work and
the lesson plan.
a. Schemes of work
A scheme of work is a collection of related strands and sub-strands drawn from the
Curriculum design and organised into lessons week by week for every term.
b. Lesson plan
 Alessonplanisadetailedoutlineof howtheteacherintendstocarryoutaspecic
lesson.

Grouping learners
Grouping learners for learning has increasingly become popular in recent years. In fact,
the shift from knowledge-based to competence-based curriculum will make grouping
the norm in the teaching process. Grouping learners can be informed by one or all of
the following:
a. Similar ability grouping
b. Mixed ability grouping
c. Similar interests grouping
d. Needs grouping
e. Friendship grouping
f. Sex grouping
Grouping learners has several advantages such as:
a. The individual learner’s progress and needs can easily be observed.
b. The teacher–learner relationship is enhanced.
c. A teacher can easily attend to the needs and problems of a small group.
d. Materials that were inadequate for individual work can now easily be shared.
e. Learners can learn from one another.
f. Cooperation among learners can easily be developed.
g. Many learners accept correction from the teacher more readily and without
feeling humiliated when they are in a small group rather than the whole class.
h. Learners’ creativity, responsibility and leadership skills can easily be developed.
i. Learners can work at their own pace.
The type of ‘grouping’ that a teacher may choose depends on:
a. The topic or task to be tackled.
b. The materials available.
c. Ability of learners in the class (fast, average, slow).
However,theteachermustbeexibleenoughtoadjustorchangehis/hertypeof 
groupingtocopewithnewsituations.Thereisnoxednumberof learnersthata
group must have. This again will be dictated by such factors as the task to be done,
the materials, characteristics of learners in your class, size and the space available.
However, groups should on average have between four to seven learners. You can
also resort to pair work depending on the nature of the content being taught at the
time.
There is no one method or approach to teaching that is appropriate to all lessons.
A teacher should, therefore, choose wisely the method to use or a combination of
methods depending on the nature of the strand or sub strand at hand.

Important attitudes in learning of art and craft activities
a. In learners
There are certain useful attitudes that the teacher should help to develop in the
learners as they learn Art and craft. Art and Craft is expected to make an impact on
a learner’s general behaviour and approach to life.
• Practical approach
 Learnersshouldseekanswerstotheirquestionsandproblemsbyndingout
wherever possible.
• Responsibility
A learner should be responsible enough to effect tasks apportioned and take
good care of items and objects during and after an activity.
• Cooperation
Learners will often be working in groups while role-playing and therefore need
to cooperate with all other members of the group.
• Curiosity
Learners should have a curious attitude as they observe things and events around
 them.Thisistherststeptowardssolvingaproblem.
• Self-condence
Learners should have the will to attempt to solve a problem. The feeling of self-
 condencecanbestrengthenedinyounglearnersif theyexperiencemany
small successes that win approval and encouragement from the teacher. The
 problemswhichlearnersattempttosolveshouldnotbesodifcultthatthey
lead to frustration.
• Honesty
As they make observations, record, analyse results and draw conclusions.
• Patience
Learners should be patient with each other as other learners may be quick to
answer and others slow to understand.
b. In teachers
• Engage learners in a variety of learning activities,
• Apply appropriate teaching and assessment methods,
• Adjust instructions to the level of the learner,
• Encourage creativity and innovation,
• Make connections/relations with other subjects,
• Show a high level of knowledge of the content,
• Develop effective discipline skills to manage the classroom adequately,
• Be a good communicator,
• Be a guide and counsellor,
• Have strong passion for children, teaching and learning.
10
Approved by KICD - 2018 Edition
Teaching Resources
These refer to things that the teacher requires during the teaching process. They include:
•Theclassroom/eld
• Textbooks
• Paint items such as papers, brushes, paints, textured surfaces, colours and varied
shapes
• Classroom objects
• Models
• Resource persons
• Social facilities such as health centres, other learning institutions, community
organisations, etc.
• Digital equipment
• Materials for weaving
Improvisation
If each learner is to have a chance of experimenting, cheap resources must be made
available. Expensive and complicated materials may not always be available in most
schools. Such sophisticated equipment made by commercial manufacturers is usually
expensive and the majority of schools cannot afford it. The teacher is therefore advised
to improvise using locally available materials as much as possible. Improvisation should
however not be regarded as a cheap substitute of proper equipment.
Note: Certain topics are best studied during a particular weather condition than at
other times. For instance, observation of colours as well as visits to cultural centres
are best done during sunny weather. The teacher should therefore think ahead while
making the scheme of work so that the prevailing weather pattern is considered. This
will ensure that suitable activities for learning music are planned for with the weather
in mind.
However,agoodschemeof workshouldbesufcientlyexibletocopewith
unexpectedsituationsandcanbealteredormodiedtosuitcertaincircumstances.
Special education needs and multi-ability learning
Inclusive education involves ensuring all learners are engaged in education and that
they are welcomed by other learners so that everyone can achieve their potential.
Inclusive practice embraces every individual regardless of gender or ability including
those with learning difculties and disabilities. The focus of inclusive curriculum is on
ensuring participation in education of learners with different learning styles and other
difculties.Tobesuccessful,itentailsarangeof issuesincludingteacher’spositive
attitudes, adapting the learning resources, a variety of teaching and learning methods
and working together.Overall,thebenetsof aninclusivecurriculumextend,toall
learners.
11
Approved by KICD - 2018 Edition
Inclusive education also helps to ensure the optimal development of children with
special educational needs by giving them a vital space which provides opportunities
for child focused learning, play, participation, peer interaction and the development
of friendships. The curriculum may also be enriched for learners who are Gifted and
Talented. This may be done by providing additional and advanced content and
resources.
Learners with special needs who follow the regular curriculum
Some learners with special needs may follow the same curriculum as learners without
special needs. However, for these learners to access the regular curriculum, adaptation
may be necessary. Adaptations may include the substitution of curriculum content,
removalof speciccurriculumcontentareasandtheadaptationof teachingand
learning strategies, resources and assessment.
Learners with special needs who may follow the regular curriculum include those with
and who are:
i. Gifted and Talented,
ii. Visual Impairment,
iii. Hearing Impairment,
iv. Physical Handicap,
v. Mild Cerebral Palsy,
vi. Learning Disabilities,
vii.EmotionalandBehaviouralDifculties.
Assessment strategies and conditions should be standardised to the needs of these
learners. The teacher should identify such cases and help facilitate the affected learners’
learning.Forexample,learnerswithvisualandhearingdifcultiesshouldsitnearthe
teacher’s table for easy supervision and assistance. The following are more suggestions
on how to support special needs children in your class.
a. Learnerswithphysicaldifculties
In this group of learners, the affected areas are normally some body parts, especially
the limbs. There may be partial or total loss of use of the limbs. In case the legs are
affected, the learners will need assistance during activities that involve movement.
This could be during a nature walk and other activities that learners have to stand
for some reason. The teacher should organise for the learner’s ease of movement
around. The learner should also be given time to catch up with the others.
Incasethehandsareaffected,thelearnersshouldbegivenmoretimetonishtheir
work. In both cases, the learners should not be pressurised to do things that can
cause injury or ridicule.
12
Approved by KICD - 2018 Edition
b. Learnerswithvisualdifculties
These learners normally have problems with their eyesight. They should sit in a
position where they are able to see the chalkboard without straining.
Note: The learner could be long sighted or short sighted.
The material to be observed should be brought closer to the learner and a magnifying
lens used where necessary. The teacher should use large diagrams, charts and labels. In
some cases, the learners can be allowed to touch and feel whatever others are looking
at. Other learners can assist by reading aloud. The lighting system in the classroom can
also be improved.
The teacher should read aloud most of the things he/she writes on the chalkboard.
c.Learnerswithhearingdifculties
The affected part in this case is the ear. The learner should have hearing aids. The
teacher should use as many visual aids as possible. They should also project their
voice and always talk while facing the learners. Use of gestures and signs while
talkinghelpsthelearnergureoutwhattheteacherissayingaswell.
d.Learnerswithspeechdifculties
A common example in a normal class is the stammerer. They always speak with a lot
of difculties.Theteachershouldbepatientwiththemandencouragesuchlearners
to express themselves in their own way. Such learners should be given more written
exercises than oral.
e.Learnerswithmentaldifculties
Theteachershouldtrytoidentifythenatureandlevelof thementaldifculty.Learners
with mental difculties should then be given special assistance and attention at an
individual level. They can be given special tests or assessments.
Ingeneral,allthelearnerswithdifcultiesshouldbereinforcedpromptly.This
encourages and motivates them. The teacher and the rest of the class should never
ridicule learners with any of  the difculties. Note that generally, people with any
kind of disability can be very sensitive to any kind of negative comments or criticism.
Remind them that ‘Disability is not inability’.
However, the teacher should avoid giving privileges where the learners do not
deserve them. Treat them fairly but not with undue favours. In extreme cases, it can
be recommended for the learners to join a special school.
13
Approved by KICD - 2018 Edition
Safety in the classroom
Learners in primary school are extremely active and curious. As such, they are inclined
to getting harmed and injured. They should therefore be constantly protected from
sources of injury and harm. The teacher is therefore advised to take strict safety
precautions whenever learners are in class or outside the classroom. Some areas that
need consideration as far as safety is concerned include:
• When using tools and equipment
• During experiments or demonstrations
• When handling sharp or pointed objects like a pair of scissors, razor blade, etc.
•Duringnaturewalksandeldvisits,learnersshouldavoidhandlingpoisonous
plants and harmful animals, etc.
Remember, the teacher is responsible for the safety of the learners during the period
he or she is handling them.
Assessment and Evaluation Methods
Competency-Based Assessment
Assessment is the process of evaluating the teaching and learning processes through
collecting and interpreting evidence of individual learner’s progress in learning and
tomakeajudgementaboutalearner’sachievementsmeasuredagainstdened
standards. Assessment is an integral part of the teaching and learning process. In the
new competence-based curriculum, assessment must also be competence-based;
whereby a learner is given a complex situation related to his/her everyday life and
asked to try to overcome the situation by applying what he/she learned.
“Anassessmen t is a machine for r easoning about what students know , can do or ha ve accomplished based on
a handful of things they say, do or make in par ticular settings.”(Mislevy et al, 2003). Assessment
is not just designing an assessment task and producing an assessment score. A good
assessmentalsodenesthesizeandnatureof thelearninggap.
Purposes of Assessment
The aim of assessment is to establish the extent to which the learner has acquired the
expected competencies with a view to informing interventions for further acquisition
and mastery of expected competencies. Assessment helps to diagnose and monitor
the progress of a learner, and provides feedback to learners, parents, teachers and
curriculum designers and implementers. It also provides guidance on the selection of
futurecourses,certicationandpromotiontothenextprogressionlevel.
The assessment needs to use a variety of ways to collect information about a learner’s
learning and progress in all subjects. The collection of a learner’s information should
be a continuous process and should be recorded constantly. The teacher should give
importance to each learner’s way of responding and learning and the span of time he
14
Approved by KICD - 2018 Edition
or she takes to do so. The teacher should provide feedback that will lead to positive
action and help the learner. When a teacher is providing reports on a continuous basis,
he or she should be sensitive to every learner’s response.
Types of assessment
The two types of assessment that will be employed in the new curriculum is formative
and summative assessment.
a. Formative and continuous assessment (assessment for learning)
Formative or continuous assessment involves formal and informal methods used by
schools to check whether learning is taking place. When a teacher is planning his/
her lesson, he/she should establish criteria for performance and behaviour changes
at the beginning of a Sub-strand. Then at the end of every Sub-strand, the teacher
should ensure that all the learners have mastered the stated key competences basing
on the criteria stated before going to the next Sub-strand. The teacher will assess
how well each learner masters both the subject matter and the generic competences
described in the curriculum and from this, the teacher will gain a picture of the all-
round progress of the learner. The teacher will use one or a combination of the
following:
• Observation to judge the extent of skills acquisition
• Written tests
• Oral questions
• Project work
• Attitude change – this can be done by asking probing questions and checking body
language as learners respond to the questions.
b. Summative assessment (assessment of learning)
When assessment is used to record a judgement of a competence or performance
of the learner, it serves a summative purpose. Summative assessment gives a picture
of alearner’scompetenceorprogressatanyspecicmoment.Themainpurpose
of summative assessment is to evaluate whether learning objectives have been
achieved and to use the results for the ranking or grading of learners, for deciding
onprogression,forselectionintothenextlevelofeducationandforcertication.
This assessment should have an integrative aspect whereby a learner must be able
to show mastery of all competences.
It can be internal school-based assessment or external assessment in the form of
national examinations. School-based summative assessment should take place
once at the end of each term and once at the end of the year. School summative
assessment average scores for each subject will be weighted and included in the
nalnationalexaminationsgrade.School-basedassessmentaveragegradewill
contributeacertainpercentageasteachersgainmoreexperienceandcondence
