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.

 

 

Good work, keep it up and do the same for my colleagues. This work could help save the children of South Africa … and give them hope for a better future.

All that I learnt from Day One  I was immediately able to apply in my class the following day… with remarkable results!

If you understand the basic concepts you will have a better understanding of more complex concepts.

 

Metro Central, October 2013

Basic Concepts are the building blocks on which cognition and perception is built.

‘It is an excellent programme. Just a pity that not all reception year educators are exposed to the training. My understanding of the programme- it is developed to systematically mediate concepts so that learners are guided to develop an understanding and so that learning is meaningful.’ (Metro Central, 2012)

Training Feedback

This is an excellent programme that can benefit any learner or educator.
