Namaqua Education District (Phase 2): Second Visit To The Project, August 2016

Monday, August 15, 2016 - 08:00 to Friday, August 19, 2016 - 16:00

Part of the Project

Continuation of Training and a Mentoring Visit

We will continue with the training of the 30 Grade R teachers as well as of the 14 Provincial ECD officials.

The training will focus on the conceptual domains of Size and Position.

There will be follow-up mentoring visits to the teachers in their classes after the training on the first and second day of the visit to the project.

The ECD Officials will also accompany me to the classrooms where I will model the approach that we use to mentor the teachers.

Once the ECD officials have returned to their districts they will be expected to continue with the implementation of the programme, now with a focus on the conceptual domains of Size and Position.

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

Metro Central Training: Western Cape Education Department (October, 2015)

For me the most effective aspect was the basic teaching model.  When I implemented the model I found that my learners were more focussed when I followed the steps of the model.

I feel very strongly that Basic Concepts should be introduced to all learners- this will give me the time to develop their conceptual language and increase their vocabulary and verbal fluency.

Before the workshop I thought (that) I knew how to teach or introduce my lessons, but now I know that I was not doing justice to my learners. I took them for granted ... as if (they would) very easily understand my instructions.

Metro South Education District: Teacher Training (January, 2013)

I have learned so much through the Kwena Basic Education Trust and for that I would like to take this opportunity to say: thank you.

Kwena Basin Education Trust: Project Visit, May 2016

I was very happy about my development on this course… often as teachers we do not pay attention to detail, but because of Basic Concepts I was aware of the lack of language use in my class. I am now using a different approach with my learners and being aware of the small details that make a big change in the way I teach and learners learn. Thank you for this eye opening course.
