Training and Mentoring Programme

The teachers in Frances Baard District have been divided into six clusters of about 10 teachers per cluster.

Each of the three officials involved with the project are responsible for two clusters.

The teachers will attend two days of training per conceptual domain over the course of the year.

The teachers are required to apply what they have learnt during training inside their classes and share best practice on a dedicated social media site.

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.

‘It is an excellent programme. Just a pity that not all reception year educators are exposed to the training. My understanding of the programme- it is developed to systematically mediate concepts so that learners are guided to develop an understanding and so that learning is meaningful.’ (Metro Central, 2012)

Training Feedback

Thank you Louis for you dedication and enthusiasm. We need our teachers to be enthused with a love of children and a passion for mediating to our learners. God Bless.

Teachers use questions that evoke thinking and inquiry, so that the learners are able to discover and experience for themselves.

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

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.
