Kwena Basin Education Trust: Project Visit, September 2016

Monday, September 5, 2016 - 08:00 to Friday, September 9, 2016 - 17:00

Part of the Project

Kwena Basin Education Trust (Phase 1 + Phase 2)

Focus of Visit 3

This will be the third and final visit to the project for the year.

The teacher training will continue with exposure to the last two conceptual domains of the programme: Number and Letter. The training will be over two days - one day per conceptual domain.

This will be followed by mentoring and support of the teachers in their classrooms. The class visits aim to help the teachers implement the mediation of the 'new' conceptual domains.

The project leader will also oversee data collection in the Foundation Phase classes at the project schools. This will involve the testing of approximately 300 learners. In addition, we will continue to gather data from Grade 4 learners at the project schools.

The final phase of data collection will be in 2017.

The workshop was very educative and an eye-opener. These are things that we usually just take for-granted.

‘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

Very informative. Well planned. Well organised. Based on CAPS. Good intervention programme.

I understand how I can assist my learners who need intervention. The BCP will boost the self-esteem and knowledge of weak learners. It definitely helps me to guide my learners, using the correct language applicable to the situation.

Very informative, well presented, engaging, coherent and thought provoking.

The training was very effective and informative … and gave us insight into how to teach and develop language. I wish there could be more of such training to develop ourselves further.
