Metro Central Education District
26 May 2012
Teacher Training in Metro Central has recently been concluded. 55 teachers, learning support teachers and officials were included in the current round of training.
The flier explains the main focus of the project:-

Louis Benjamin and Tami Mhlati visited teachers in the Strand to mentor and monitor their progress. These teachers have developed wonderfully.

Well done to the Etafeni teachers and care workers!

Baseline data for the project was gathered from a school close to the Etafeni Day Centre.

The practitioners again responded excellently to this colour revision session and introduction to shape. The project has been actively supported by the Principal of the Centre.
Tami Mhalti, Project Coordinator

20 teachers at 8 primary schools and 5 ECD Centres have received classroom support over a period of three years.

The first mentoring session with the practitioners at the centre went off very well.

42 Grade R practitioners received their BCP Mediators' Certificates at an Awards Ceremony at Springbok Primary School on the 20th March 2012.

The Test of Basic Concepts Knowledge has been administered annually to Grade 1 learners since the start of the project. In 2010 baseline data was gathered from learners at all project schools.

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.

The BCP is about the way we talk to the children in class and how we give lessons in class. How we should introduce a topic to the children and mediate with them.

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 ...

Thank you Louis for you dedication and enthusiasm. We need our teachers to be enthused with a love of children and a passion for mediating to our learners. God Bless.
