Namaqua Education District (Phase 2): Fifth Visit to the Project, May 2017

Monday, May 8, 2017 - 08:00 to Friday, May 12, 2017 - 18:00

A Training and Support Visit 

During this visit we will complete the training process that was started last year in February 2016. The training will focus on the conceptual domains of number and letter. The teachers and departmental officials would then have attended 6 training sessions over 6 days (48hrs of training).

The training will be followed up by class visits to the teachers to mentor and assist with the transfer of learning into the classrooms. It is likely that most teachers will be visited during these visits.

In addition, during the visit we will continue with the programme to train provincial officials from the Northern Cape Department of Education to support and mentor teacher-mediators of the BCP. 

The provincial officials will be required, by the end of the year, to show competency in both the theory and practice of the programme.

 

 

The BCP focuses on the learner… where the teacher acts as a mediator, prompts to access logical thinking and develops language.

It is a method of teaching…to establish the basic foundations or building blocks in order for children to make sense of the environment around them.

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.

Teacher Feedback

I learned a new language to use with my learners.

Thank you for introducing me to this "life skill". It is wonderful that there is also an online, interactive, support system with resources available.
