Trainer-of-Trainers (ToT)

The ToT will be initiated in 2022 with officials from three districts (John Taolo Gaetsewe, Pixley Ka Seme, and Namaqua) as well as officials from the Provincial Head Office in Kimberley.

Each official will attend 6 weeks of training over the duration of the year. See the programme below.

The training process is very thorough- the trainees are required to i) prepare to run their sessions, ii)watch a model session, iii) run their own session and, iv) thereafter reflect (as a group) on their training sessions.

The officials will each train a small group of teachers during the year. We estimate that about 60 teachers will be trained during the year.

After the teachers have been trained in 2022, they will be expected to implement the programme with support inside their classes with all their learners.

The teacher training process is based on the same model used by the BCs Lead Team in the province.

The course was clear, open and easy to understand basic concepts. What I liked most was that it links with the curriculum and it really works. It needs to be implemented at my centre.

Teacher Feedback

Basic Concepts are the building blocks on which cognition and perception is built.

Metro Central Training: WCED (February, 2015)

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.

Mitchell's Plain Primary School, November 2015

The course was very helpful to me as a teacher, excellent and exciting, because it opened my mind … how to integrate basic concept in all learning areas. It also showed that children should not be limited and their understanding should be developed step-by-step.
