Arts Teacher Guide Grade 3

This Arts Teacher Guide for Grade 4 is developed as a support document for the implementation of Arts Syllabus for Grades 3, 4 and 5. The document provides guidelines for teachers on how to plan and program teaching and learning activities. It also contains sample guided lessons and assessments tasks with suggested teaching and learning strategies that teachers can use to work towards achieving the Content Standards in the Syllabus. This Teacher Guide is realigned, repositioned and replaced with standard based statements to improve knowledge, skills and competency in Arts for students in this grade. Arts help students to develop their ability to draw, sing, move, write and to use their imagination. The lessons should reinforce cultural values and other school subjects The Arts Syllabus and this Teacher Guide builds upon the skills and knowledge that children bring from their own cultural, family experiences and the learning standards of the Elementary curriculum. Collaboratively working with the members of the school communities is encouraged. Teachers need to identify and encourage community participation and partnership in promoting arts educational activities in their schools Teachers are encouraged to read this Teacher Guide carefully to become familiar with the content so that they can be confident to try out new concepts and strategies and to teach the content well. They can also adjust to suit the learning needs of their students. I commend and approve this Grade 4 Arts Teacher Guide to be used in all Primary Schools throughout Papua New Guinea
