COVID-19 Teaching By Radio Program

Country: Liberia

Lesson #2.1

Subject: Seating Plans

COVID-19 has led to widespread school closures around the world, presenting unique and unprecedented challenges for students and teachers. In response to this crisis, Rising Academies is designing a radio-based teacher professional development program so that all teachers are ready to return to the classroom as soon as schools reopen. Our content will facilitate continuous professional development for teachers while schools are closed.

We will leverage the curriculums we have designed and refined over the past 6 years working with teachers and students in West Africa. Our established teacher training curriculum will shape the design of the program.

Lesson #25

Subject: Numeracy

With the closure of schools due to the COVID19 pandemic, Rising has adapted our foundational numeracy content to create a radio program that will strengthen and build students’ foundational numeracy skills even when they are out of school. Our approach builds off decades of research into the science of how children learn mathematical concepts. Students learning at home require no learning materials but there is the option to provide printable worksheets and additional support via SMS.

Our math program has been simplified to two learning levels: (1) lower primary students in Grades 1-3 and (2) upper primary students in Grades 4-6. Focusing on these two grade bands allows for a streamlined approach making it easier for families and children to follow when they are out of school. Each lesson starts with an introductory health and safety message. The learning content focuses on the foundational skills that all students need to master to be successful later in their education.

The lower primary program builds understanding of place value, addition and subtraction. There is an emphasis on building students’ mathematical vocabulary and number fluency. Regular practice of counting builds students’ preparedness for multiplication and division.

The upper primary program extends understanding of place value to include larger numbers; consolidates understanding of addition and subtraction; and builds understanding of multiplication and division. Mental math problems give students the chance to enhance number fluency.
