Ikwezi Lead Teacher Project, Phase 2b: Teacher Training for Metro East Education District, 2014

Saturday, July 19, 2014 - 08:30

Basic Concepts Programme offered as a UCT short course

The training is for 32 Grade R and Grade 1 teachers from 7 schools in Metro East Education District, WCED. 

Dates: 17 May + 7 June + 19 July 2014

Venue: The Cape Teaching Institute (CTLI)

Times: 9h00-16h00

‘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

I have learned new strategies to use across the CAPS curriculum, also new exciting ways to build language. I've become more aware of the language that I use in my classroom.

It made me look at my teaching in a different way. I am excited to implement what I have learnt.

I have learned so much through the Kwena Basic Education Trust and for that I would like to take this opportunity to say: thank you.

It is a method of teaching…to establish the basic foundations or building blocks in order for children to make sense of the environment around them.
