Part of the Project

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.

My concern about my learners’ language barriers and how to overcome these barriers has been solved for me.

Metro Central Training: Western Cape Education Department (October, 2015)

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.

Metro South Education District: Teacher Training (February, 2014)

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)

I found this course extremely helpful. One of the best I have attended. The programme makes so much sense and has really made me think!

Public Open Training, Cape Town (2014)

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

I feel very strongly that Basic Concepts should be introduced to all learners- this will give me the time to develop their conceptual language and increase their vocabulary and verbal fluency.
