Namaqua Education District (Phase 2): Fifth Visit to the Project, May 2017

Monday, May 8, 2017 - 08:00 to Friday, May 12, 2017 - 18:00

A Training and Support Visit 

During this visit we will complete the training process that was started last year in February 2016. The training will focus on the conceptual domains of number and letter. The teachers and departmental officials would then have attended 6 training sessions over 6 days (48hrs of training).

The training will be followed up by class visits to the teachers to mentor and assist with the transfer of learning into the classrooms. It is likely that most teachers will be visited during these visits.

In addition, during the visit we will continue with the programme to train provincial officials from the Northern Cape Department of Education to support and mentor teacher-mediators of the BCP. 

The provincial officials will be required, by the end of the year, to show competency in both the theory and practice of the programme.

 

 

Now I can help the learners from our poorer areas to verbalize for themselves…  they are becoming more confident and starting to love their educational journey.

If you understand the basic concepts you will have a better understanding of more complex concepts.

I learned a new language to use with my learners.

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

Very informative, well presented, engaging, coherent and thought provoking.

'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)
