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.

The BCP is about the way we talk to the children in class and how we give lessons in class. How we should introduce a topic to the children and mediate with them.

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

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

The BCP provides "tools" for higher-level learning.

Public Open Training, Cape Town (2014)

It made me look at my teaching in a different way. I am excited to implement what I have learnt.

Metro Central Education District, March 2014

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.
