Trainer-of-Trainers (ToT)

The ToT will be initiated in 2022 with officials from three districts (John Taolo Gaetsewe, Pixley Ka Seme, and Namaqua) as well as officials from the Provincial Head Office in Kimberley.

Each official will attend 6 weeks of training over the duration of the year. See the programme below.

The training process is very thorough- the trainees are required to i) prepare to run their sessions, ii)watch a model session, iii) run their own session and, iv) thereafter reflect (as a group) on their training sessions.

The officials will each train a small group of teachers during the year. We estimate that about 60 teachers will be trained during the year.

After the teachers have been trained in 2022, they will be expected to implement the programme with support inside their classes with all their learners.

The teacher training process is based on the same model used by the BCs Lead Team in the province.

'It was well run... Knowledge gained priceless. It taught me vital strategies in the teaching model for optimal learning and understanding to take place.' (Metro Central, 2012)

 

Teacher Feedback About Training (2012)

Practical, useful, clear, scaffolded for use in the classroom. Very approachable lecturer and lessening of anxiety through post-workshop contact.

I learned a new language to use with my learners.

Presentation was well organized and clear. The lecturer explained extensively about the content of the course. The programme should be implemented by all Foundation Phase teachers and be recognized by government. The BCP is CAPS aligned.

Goals and objectives were clear, easy to grasp and manageable.  The enthusiasm and energy with which the course was presented made for an enjoyable 3 days!

The BCP provides "tools" for higher-level learning.
