INTRODUCTION The development of the curriculum for Diploma in Teacher Education for the Pre-Primary and Primary level (DTE–PP&P) is a critical milestone in the implementation of Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) in Kenya. The curriculum designs herein have been developed to prepare the student teacher to be able to effectively guide the learners at the Pre-Primary School and Primary School level; that is from Pre-Primary One (PP1) to Grade Six (G6) in Basic Education. It is envisaged that the teacher educator will guide the student teachers appropriately to embrace the shift from the Objective- Based to the Competency Based Curriculum which is hinged on use of learner-centred pedagogy for realisation of the stated expected learning outcomes. In addition, the emphasis on formative assessment to facilitate learning should be underscored as the basis for determining learner aptitude and performance. Other key aspects that have been introduced include structured micro- teaching, a longer period for the practicum and the introduction of specific Professional Courses that ensure congruence with the CBC vision, mission, pillars and guiding principles as enshrined in the Basic Education Curriculum Framework (KICD, 2017). The DTE-PP&P curriculum seeks to develop the teacher to act as a facilitator in the learning process taking into consideration the different abilities and learning styles of individual target learners. The curriculum has been designed with emphasis on experiential and reflective learning to develop appropriate Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK); hence, the emphasis on integrated content and pedagogy forthe student teachers while at college. Thisisto ensure that the student teacher is given adequate time to practice how to facilitate learning of the different strands prescribed in the curriculum designs. The Curriculum designs for the DTE-PP&P are packaged according to courses of training as follows: Professional Learning areas 1. Child Development and Psychology 2. Curriculum Studies 3. Educational Resources 4. ICT Integration in Education
