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

ZFM TRAINING PROGRAMME (2023)

The project will be initiated in this district at the start of the year.

The first group of Grade R teachers (n=50) will be invited to participate in the project. The majority of teachers will be drawn from schools within the Upington area.

Two ECD officials will also be involved in the training and support phases of the project.

The teachers will attend 6 training sessions over the year and will receive follow-up support visits immediately after the training sessions - see the training & support programme below.

Volunteer mentors will also be recruited in the district to provide additional support to the teachers with the implementation of the BCP.

'I can actually see results from using some of the ideas I got during the training.'

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

‘Although I have been teaching Grade R for 23 years... I have learnt so much over the past 2 weeks and have already seen a change in most of my learners.’ (Metro Central, 2012)

Teacher Feedback

Encourages children to be observant and provides opportunity for building language skills - from basics to more complex.

Public Open Training, Cape Town (2014)

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.

Schools Improvement Initiative, UCT (June 2013)

‘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)
