Part of the Project

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.

This is an excellent programme that can benefit any learner or educator.

Metro Central (2013): Training
Metro Central Education District

Very well put together course: well researched, well prepared, well delivered.  A course that can be trusted to yield results when applied in practice, and therefore a much needed and valuable tool to implement with learners who are in danger of failing to learn adequately.

Open Public Training, 2015 (Cape Town)

I found all aspects of the course very effective.  I now have a very good understanding of how to teach all the concepts.  I am going to be more specific and detailed when I teach. I need to research and plan my basic concepts lessons ...

Ikwezi: Schools Development Unit, July 2014

I was very happy about my development on this course… often as teachers we do not pay attention to detail, but because of Basic Concepts I was aware of the lack of language use in my class. I am now using a different approach with my learners and being aware of the small details that make a big change in the way I teach and learners learn. Thank you for this eye opening course.

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.

ZOOM TRAINING 2 FEEDBACK

My concern about my learners’ language barriers and how to overcome these barriers has been solved for me.
