This paper draws on the insights gained from documenting the journeys undertaken by six Normal Schools as they integrated the new Key Competencies (KCs) framework from the draft revised curriculum into their teaching and learning programmes.
This paper discusses some of the challenges the schools faced. The issues explored include:
- creating a shared understanding of the KCs between staff and students
- creating space to foreground the KCs
- findings ways to document students’ learning in regard to the KCs.
