Part of the Project

The Northern Cape Project (2018 - 2024): Reaching All Grade R Learners

Frances Baard: Training and Mentoring Programme

A group of 30 teachers will be added to the current cohort of 56 teachers in 2022.

Each of the three officials from the district has invited 10 new teachers mostly from their current schools to join the project.

The teachers will attend two training sessions per conceptual domain over the course of the year. See the programme below.

The teachers are required to apply what they have learnt during training inside their classes and share best practices on a dedicated social media site.

Goals and objectives were clear, easy to grasp and manageable. The enthusiasm and energy with which the course was presented made for an enjoyable 3 days!

Open Public Training, 2015 (Cape Town)

The emphasis on language throughout the programme helps to develop learners' understanding of concepts and expand their vocabulary. The BCP stops learners from guessing, it gives them more structure and develops their cognitive functioning.

Metro Central Teacher Comment (July 2013)

The BCP is the best place to start for learners with limited vocabulary and for closing the vocabulary gap.

Christel House Training, July 2014

This workshop is one of the most beneficial workshops I have attended. The trainer’s presentation style was warm, easy to follow and understand. I like that he included practical activities, examples and demonstrations.

Metro Central: Training, October 2014

The workshop helped me to understand how to work with the children in the classroom. I also learnt how to ask open-ended questions that will encourage my learners to think and to ask more questions.
