Description
The project aims to significantly improve the quality of teaching-learning in Grade R classes in selected clusters of the Namaqua District.
The project is premised on the assumption that improved teaching and learning in Grade R will contribute towards improved learning in the Foundation Phase and particularly in Grade 1. The project has focussed strongly on the development of Grade R teachers as mediators of learning experiences to develop the requisite language and conceptual understanding of their learners.
A team of District Officials will be trained to coach and mentor these teachers in their classes. A team of Provincial Officials will also participate in the project and receive training to prepare them as future trainers of the BCP in the Northern Cape.
Evaluation
Baseline data will be gathered from a sample of Grade 1 learners at the beginning of the year in 2016.
Grade 1 learners who participated in the Grade R programme during 2016 will be tested at the start of 2017 to determine their readiness for learning in Grade 1.
Comparisons will be made between the Grade 1 Baseline data in 2016 and the Intervention Group data (2017).
