2020 REVISED CURRICULUM AND ASSESSMENT PLANS GRADE Implementation: June 2020

Presentation Outline 1. Purpose 2. Amendments to the Content Overview for the Phase; 3. Amendments to the Annual Teaching Plan; 4. Amendments School Based Assessment (SBA) 5. Conclusion

1. Purpose • To mediate the amendments of the trimmed and reorganised 2020 Annual Teaching Plan including School Based Assessment for Electrical Technology: Digital Electronics, Electronics and Power Systems Grade 10 -12 for implementation in June 2020 as stipulated in Circular S 2 of 2020. • To ensure that meaningful teaching proceeds during the remaining teaching time as per the revised school calendar. • To assist teachers with guided pacing and sequencing of curriculum content and assessment.

1. Purpose (continued) • To enable teachers to cover the essential core content /skills in each grade within the available time. • To assist teachers with planning for the different forms of assessment. • To ensure learners are adequately prepared for the subsequent year/s in terms of content, skills, knowledge, attitudes and values
