Namaqua Education District (Phase 2): Fifth Visit to the Project, May 2017

Monday, May 8, 2017 - 08:00 to Friday, May 12, 2017 - 18:00

A Training and Support Visit 

During this visit we will complete the training process that was started last year in February 2016. The training will focus on the conceptual domains of number and letter. The teachers and departmental officials would then have attended 6 training sessions over 6 days (48hrs of training).

The training will be followed up by class visits to the teachers to mentor and assist with the transfer of learning into the classrooms. It is likely that most teachers will be visited during these visits.

In addition, during the visit we will continue with the programme to train provincial officials from the Northern Cape Department of Education to support and mentor teacher-mediators of the BCP. 

The provincial officials will be required, by the end of the year, to show competency in both the theory and practice of the programme.

 

 

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

‘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 learned a new language to use with my learners.

Metro Central: Training, October 2014

Encourages children to be observant and provides opportunity for building language skills - from basics to more complex.

Public Open Training, Cape Town (2014)

It made me rethink how I teach and how I can change the language I use.
