Kwena Basin Education Trust: Project Visit, September 2016

Kwena Basic Education Trust

Part of the Project

Kwena Basin Education Trust

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.

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.

Kwena Basin Education Trust: Project Visit, May 2016

What I understand about the Basic Concepts Programme is that it is very useful in all subjects. I must implement it in every lesson. I must also try to be as accurate and precise as possible when teaching.

Teacher Feedback About Training (2012)

Before the course, I never focused on the main concepts as I never really thought them essential to "real life" as a speech-language pathologist. I now have a very different perspective on why these aspects are important and how they move cognition forward.
