Kwena Basin Education Trust: Project Visit, September 2016

Monday, September 5, 2016 - 08:00 to Friday, September 9, 2016 - 17:00
Kwena Basic Education Trust

Focus of Visit 3

This will be the third and final visit to the project for the year.

The teacher training will continue with exposure to the last two conceptual domains of the programme: Number and Letter. The training will be over two days - one day per conceptual domain.

This will be followed by mentoring and support of the teachers in their classrooms. The class visits aim to help the teachers implement the mediation of the 'new' conceptual domains.

The project leader will also oversee data collection in the Foundation Phase classes at the project schools. This will involve the testing of approximately 300 learners. In addition, we will continue to gather data from Grade 4 learners at the project schools.

The final phase of data collection will be in 2017.

It made me rethink how I teach and how I can change the language I use.

All that I learnt from Day One  I was immediately able to apply in my class the following day… with remarkable results!

I understand now that teaching is not just standing in front of the class, but a discussion/ dialogue with your children.

Practical demonstration of mediation. Louis is an excellent mediator and it really helped to see it demonstrated. Loved the dedication, enthusiasm and firm belief in worth of BC approach to learning. I really think you opened our eyes to new methods of promoting learning and especially development of language.
