Refer below for more details about the forthcoming training.
 

Date: 27 + 28 May 2019

Time: 8:00 - 16:30

Place: To be determined

Number of teachers: 44

Number of District Officials: 1

Number of Provincial Officials: 1

Number of Volunteers: 2

Support and mentoring visits to the teachers will be initiated immediately after the training on the 29th to the 31st of May.

The main purpose of the visit is to assist teachers with the application of the new domains inside their classes as well as to motivate the newly trained teacher-mediators.

The visits will be lead by district and provincial officials as well as by the project team leaders.

Community volunteers will accompany the class visitors on their mentoring visits - they will continue to receive on-site training to provide additional support to the teachers.

The teachers will resume with the systematic implementation of the programme and the conceptual domain of Shape after the visit.

See programme for visit in documents below.

The sessions were clear, informative, exciting, well presented, practical, logical and relevant to the context of teaching young learners.

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 had an idea what the course would be like, but it was much more than what I had expected.

'Definitely exceeded my expectations. I see that the BCP can have far reaching consequences if implemented optimally. We were told the how and why of implementation rather than the what.' (Metro Central, 2012)

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

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.
