Kwena Basin Education Trust: Project Visit, September 2016

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.

The workshop was very educative and an eye-opener. These are things that we usually just take for-granted.

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

Teacher Feedback About Training (2012)

Thank you for introducing me to this "life skill". It is wonderful that there is also an online, interactive, support system with resources available.

The sessions were clear, informative, exciting, well presented, practical, logical and relevant to the context of teaching young learners.
