Namaqua Education District (Phase 2): Fifth Visit to the Project, May 2017

Monday, May 8, 2017 - 08:00 to Friday, May 12, 2017 - 18:00

Part of the Project

Namaqua Education District, Northern Cape (Phase 2)

A Training and Support Visit

During this visit we will complete the training process that was started last year in February 2016. The training will focus on the conceptual domains of number and letter. The teachers and departmental officials would then have attended 6 training sessions over 6 days (48hrs of training).

The training will be followed up by class visits to the teachers to mentor and assist with the transfer of learning into the classrooms. It is likely that most teachers will be visited during these visits.

In addition, during the visit we will continue with the programme to train provincial officials from the Northern Cape Department of Education to support and mentor teacher-mediators of the BCP.

The provincial officials will be required, by the end of the year, to show competency in both the theory and practice of the programme.

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

I realize that children need to know their basic concepts so that they can develop understanding of the content of the curriculum.

What I understand about the Basic Concepts Programme is that it is very useful in all subjects. I must implement it in every lesson. I must also try to be as accurate and precise as possible when teaching.

Die Bron Primary School: Visit 1

Very well put together course: well researched, well prepared, well delivered. A course that can be trusted to yield results when applied in practice, and therefore a much needed and valuable tool to implement with learners who are in danger of failing to learn adequately.

It is a method of teaching…to establish the basic foundations or building blocks in order for children to make sense of the environment around them.

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!
