Some teachers' comments about training:
Metro Central

A full description of the Metro Central Basic Concepts project and an interim evaluation were presented in the form of a poster at the IACESA Conference, 2008.

The results of this follow-up testing one year after the intervention indicated that learners had maintained and in most cases improved on their 2006 scores.

The following are some examples of learner writing gathered during the project.

The project results for successive cohorts of learners in each particular grade showed a positive trend towards the norm.

Metro South Education District: Teacher Training, May 2014

I am blown away!!! This is most definitely the most useful course that I have ever attended.

Overberg District, Western Cape Department of Education (February, 2019)

‘I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop as I was given the opportunity to work with learners … while being guided. The trainer demonstrations with the learners were an excellent idea. This workshop has been a success as I can now see what our learners lack. It made a lot of sense.’ (Metro South, 2009)
