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

ZFM TRAINING PROGRAMME (2023)

The project will be initiated in this district at the start of the year.

The first group of Grade R teachers (n=50) will be invited to participate in the project. The majority of teachers will be drawn from schools within the Upington area.

Two ECD officials will also be involved in the training and support phases of the project.

The teachers will attend 6 training sessions over the year and will receive follow-up support visits immediately after the training sessions - see the training & support programme below.

Volunteer mentors will also be recruited in the district to provide additional support to the teachers with the implementation of the BCP.

The BCP focuses on the learner… where the teacher acts as a mediator, prompts to access logical thinking and develops language.

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

The BCP is the best place to start for learners with limited vocabulary and for closing the vocabulary gap.

Christel House Training, July 2014

Thank you Louis for you dedication and enthusiasm. We need our teachers to be enthused with a love of children and a passion for mediating to our learners. God Bless.

The emphasis on language throughout the programme helps to develop learners' understanding of concepts and expand their vocabulary. The BCP stops learners from guessing, it gives them more structure and develops their cognitive functioning.
