An IEP should be developed by a multidisciplinary team which may consist of; the learner, a regular teacher, a special education teacher, an assessment teacher and other professionals such as psychologists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, social workers and the parents.
An IEP is important as it focuses on an individual learner’s needs and allows each learner to acquire knowledge, skills, attitudes and values at his/her own pace.
In this stage, the learner’s current level of performance is assessed to identify those skills the learner has strengths in and those that he or she has weaknesses or challenges.
Assessment should take place during the lesson.
It is always good to evaluate progress after a specific short-term learning outcome.

β€’ Learning experiences can be defined as interactions in which learning takes place.
A learner is exposed to situations and activities so as to develop desired knowledge, skills, values and attitudes.
Learning experiences enable the learner to: β€’ Acquire knowledge and develop skills, values and attitudes β€’ Acquire the intended core competencies β€’ Self-regulate and evaluate β€’ Engage deeply in the learnt concepts β€’ Reflect on the learning process β€’ Interact with others during the learning process
Learning Experiences In Curriculum Designs The curriculum design has provided for Learning Experiences as: β€’ Suggested learning experiences as per sub-strand β€’ Non- formal learning experiences β€’ Community service learning activities β€’ Linkage activities to PCIs and Values
β€’ Validity: to achieve given learning outcomes learners must be given opportunities to practise the specific behaviour indicated in the learning outcome.
β€’ Variety: use of varied experiences (multisensory) to achieve the same learning outcome so long as they meet the criteria for effective learning PRINCIPLES COND... β€’ Comprehensiveness: all the learning outcomes have corresponding learning styles β€’ Effective: should enrich learning and not substitute it β€’ The learner must obtain satisfaction from carrying the kind of behaviour implied by the learning outcome.
The suggested learning experiences should cover: β€’ Knowledge, skills, attitudes β€’ Values β€’ Competencies β€’ Are varied and include use of ICT devices THANK YOU! Developing Learning Outcomes Integrating Core Competencies and Values Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development Why are learning outcomes important?
The Competency based curriculum is founded on learners showing or demonstrating that they have learnt.
Learning outcomes are evidence that learning experiences have made a change that learners manifest.
The change or transformation in learners is manifested through new knowledge, skills and attitudes.
Learning outcomes are designed according to the same trend as CBC.
The outcome statement includes a verb that will clearly illustrate what action learners need to engage in to demonstrate their competencies.
The action could demonstrate a change at the level of knowledge, a skill or an attitude.
A teacher should use a picture to illustrate knowledge.
The verbs represent the three domains of learning including knowledge, skills and attitudes.
The object in learning outcomes
A good learning outcome begins with an action verb, followed by the object of the verb and a phrase that gives the context.
Preferably only one verb is used in a learning outcome.
Learning outcomes are amenable to assessment.
Identify four primary colours. Identify painting materials. Identify two primary colours to get a secondary colour. Identify learning experiences. Identify learning outcomes and learning experiences.
β€’Outcomes focus on results of the learning experiences and should be related to each other.
β€’Outcomes are linked to assessment because they define what learners are expected to demonstrate.
