Part of the Project

The Northern Cape Project (2018 - 2024): Reaching All Grade R Learners

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.

ZFM SUPPORT PROGRAMME (OCT 2023)

‘The trainer was very good and it was refreshing to be part of a workshop that can actually make a difference in the lives and minds of learners.’ (Metro North, 2010)

Teacher Feedback

The workshop helped me to understand how to work with the children in the classroom. I also learnt how to ask open-ended questions that will encourage my learners to think and to ask more questions.

‘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

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!
