ZFM TRAINING PROGRAMME (2023)

The project will be initiated in this district at the start of the year.

The first group of Grade R teachers (n=50) will be invited to participate in the project. The majority of teachers will be drawn from schools within the Upington area.

Two ECD officials will also be involved in the training and support phases of the project.

The teachers will attend 6 training sessions over the year and will receive follow-up support visits immediately after the training sessions - see the training & support programme below.

 

Volunteer mentors will also be recruited in the district to provide additional support to the teachers with the implementation of the BCP.

I understand how I can assist my learners who need intervention. The BCP will boost the self-esteem and knowledge of weak learners. It definitely helps me to guide my learners, using the correct language applicable to the situation.

Thank you very much for the training. We learnt so much from you and how to run the programme... This was interesting and we really enjoyed it.

The Basic Concepts Programme is basically the same as Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development. It is a way of teaching… it gives individuals a way to structure their thinking and reasoning.
