Lecture at the Workshop

All teachers are to adopt good teaching skills or strategies of teaching to meet students individual needs to enable them pass their WASSCE exams successfully.
This intervention strategies should be categorized into 3 parts called Tier,1 Tier 2 and Tier 3
(Details of these will be given to you when we meet in school)

Assessment of students

All teachers should make sure all your students score high marks in their Assignments and End of term exams
Your targets should be 100% and the least person should score 80% minimum, if you are not achieving this, then you need to adopt *ability teaching intervention tier 1,2 and tier 3)

Intervention Money

Little information was given on this issue because government is still engaging all the stakeholders on the best option going forward.But the assurance is that intervention money will be paid but the formula for sharing will be different from last year( May be every school will be left to draw their own formula suitable for them based on consensus.

Other Matters

Teacher absenteeism. Laziness on the part of students and teachers, Indiscipline in schools, intimidation, Lack of facilities, TLMs, Time constraint. Financial difficulties etc were identified as some of the causes of poor performance in WASSCE Results and teachers should be the change maker and brighten the corner where you are.
Thank you.
