Kwena Basin Education Trust: Project Visit, September 2016

Monday, September 5, 2016 - 08:00 to Friday, September 9, 2016 - 17:00

Part of the Project

Kwena Basin Education Trust (Phase 1 + Phase 2)

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.

I realized that if one lays down a solid foundation for your learners they will become self-assured and confident human beings.

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

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!

What I understand about the Basic Concepts Programme is that it is very useful in all subjects. I must implement it in every lesson. I must also try to be as accurate and precise as possible when teaching.
