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.

The training was very effective and informative … and gave us insight into how to teach and develop language. I wish there could be more of such training to develop ourselves further.

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

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.

Metro Central (2013); Training

‘BCP is foundational to a child's learning. It is the building blocks on which all other concepts are built. A concept needs to be fully understood by a child before a new concept can be taught. We often rush children's learning due to time constraints which is not correct.’ (KIDZPOSITIVE, Occupational Therapist, 2011)
