Metro South (2013): School Visit to Zanemfundo Primary

Dr. Benjamin accompanied the Project Coordinator (Fiella Williams) on a visit to a project school.

Three of the Grade 1 teachers at the school received mentoring. 

It was impressive that all three classes had BASIC CONCEPTS CORNERS and expanding VOCABULARY lists on their walls. See photos below.

The teachers were already familiar with the BCs TEACHING MODEL and had started to focus more on their MEDIATION. Teachers spent most of their time on Step 2 - Identifying/Coding the SHAPE. It was also encouraging that the teachers had begun to expect accuracy and precision from their learners.

Each of the teachers observed had their own unique strengths: The teachers engaged their learners with warmth and also modelled and taught the conceptual language in a conscious and explicit way.

It was a pleasure to have the principal of the school participating in one of the sessions.

Well done teachers!!!
