‘It is an excellent programme. Just a pity that not all reception year educators are exposed to the training. My understanding of the programme- it is developed to systematically mediate concepts so that learners are guided to develop an understanding and so that learning is meaningful.’ (Metro Central, 2012)

Training Feedback

Now I can help the learners from our poorer areas to verbalize for themselves… they are becoming more confident and starting to love their educational journey.

I found all aspects of the course very effective. I now have a very good understanding of how to teach all the concepts. I am going to be more specific and detailed when I teach. I need to research and plan my basic concepts lessons ...

For me the most effective aspect was the basic teaching model. When I implemented the model I found that my learners were more focussed when I followed the steps of the model.

Before the workshop I thought (that) I knew how to teach or introduce my lessons, but now I know that I was not doing justice to my learners. I took them for granted ... as if (they would) very easily understand my instructions.
