Northern Cape Project: Master Trainers- Part 2 (2023)

Part of the Project

Master Trainers: Final Training Week

The focus of this week's training will be on the final conceptual domains that were not covered earlier in the year.

In addition, the week will give us the opportunity for the Northern Cape Officials to support and mentor educators in the last two domains of the programme.

The prospective trainers would thus have had the opportunity to see the entire process, from the training of the teachers and reflection on the process to the follow-through inside the classroom.

This makes for a fully immersive experience for the new trainers.

I found this course extremely helpful. One of the best I have attended. The programme makes so much sense and has really made me think!

I really cannot wait to start- I want all my children to be Grade 1 ready at the end of this year.

‘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)

Teacher Training

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 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.

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

I am extremely grateful for being exposed to this programme … I'm always worried about those learners who are not progressing. The programme can support these learners in order to lay the foundation for academic progress. Practically my whole class needs this Foundation!!! How can I start with formal teaching if they do not know their Basics.
