Namaqua Education District (Phase 2): First Visit To Project, 2016

Monday, February 15, 2016 - 08:00 to Friday, February 19, 2016 - 16:30

Set-Up of Project

Teachers from 4 circuits in the Namaqua District will attend a 2-day orientation workshop in Springbok, Northern Cape. District and Provincial officials will also attend the orientation workshop.

After the workshop the teachers willl start to implement the first two conceptual domains of colour and shape in their classrooms.

The District and Provincial officials will accompany the Project Leader on his mentoring visits to these project teachers to help them with the implementation. 

While the District officials will be expected to provide support to the project teachers, the Provincial officials will return to their districts to implement the programme with a small group of learners.

See documents below for a breakdown of the schools, teachers, and learners.

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

All that I learnt from Day One  I was immediately able to apply in my class the following day… with remarkable results!

‘Although I have been teaching Grade R for 23 years... I have learnt so much over the past 2 weeks and have already seen a change in most of my learners.’ (Metro Central, 2012)

Teacher Feedback

I love the programme. I was not aware of how to introduce a concept … . If I could reverse my years in teaching, I bet I would have produced mathematicians, scientists and doctors.
