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.

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

We were taught the theory as well as the practice.  I now feel confident to start to implement the programme with my class and even with my nieces and nephews.

'It was well run... Knowledge gained priceless. It taught me vital strategies in the teaching model for optimal learning and understanding to take place.' (Metro Central, 2012)

 

Teacher Feedback About Training (2012)

The training was very effective and informative … and gave us insight into how to teach and develop language. I wish there could be more of such training to develop ourselves further.

Metro South Education District: Teacher Training (February, 2014)

This workshop is one of the most beneficial workshops I have attended. The trainer’s presentation style was warm, easy to follow and understand. I like that he included practical activities, examples and demonstrations.

Metro Central: Training, October 2014

Practical, useful, clear, scaffolded for use in the classroom. Very approachable lecturer and lessening of anxiety through post-workshop contact.
