I really cannot wait to start- I want all my children to be Grade 1 ready at the end of this year.

What stood out for me - was not teaching the content, but how to teach the concept and so much vocabulary is elicited …

‘I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop as I was given the opportunity to work with learners … while being guided. The trainer demonstrations with the learners were an excellent idea. This workshop has been a success as I can now see what our learners lack. It made a lot of sense.’ (Metro South, 2009)

Teacher Training

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.
