Namaqua Education District (Phase 2): Second Visit To The Project, August 2016

Monday, August 15, 2016 - 08:00 to Friday, August 19, 2016 - 16:00

Part of the Project

Namaqua Education District, Northern Cape (Phase 2)

Continuation of Training and a Mentoring Visit

We will continue with the training of the 30 Grade R teachers as well as of the 14 Provincial ECD officials.

The training will focus on the conceptual domains of Size and Position.

There will be follow-up mentoring visits to the teachers in their classes after the training on the first and second day of the visit to the project.

The ECD Officials will also accompany me to the classrooms where I will model the approach that we use to mentor the teachers.

Once the ECD officials have returned to their districts they will be expected to continue with the implementation of the programme, now with a focus on the conceptual domains of Size and Position.

See a full report on the visit below.

Practical, useful, clear, scaffolded for use in the classroom. Very approachable lecturer and lessening of anxiety through post-workshop contact.

We were taught the theory as well as the practice. I now feel confident to start to implement the programme with my class and even with my nieces and nephews.

I feel very strongly that Basic Concepts should be introduced to all learners- this will give me the time to develop their conceptual language and increase their vocabulary and verbal fluency.

What People Say

Very well put together course: well researched, well prepared, well delivered. A course that can be trusted to yield results when applied in practice, and therefore a much needed and valuable tool to implement with learners who are in danger of failing to learn adequately.
