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.

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

It helps learners to think and forms (the) foundation for reading, writing and mathematics.

Metro South Education District: Training (January, 2013)

Thank you very much for the training. We learnt so much from you and how to run the programme... This was interesting and we really enjoyed it.

‘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

Before the course, I never focused on the main concepts as I never really thought them essential to "real life" as a speech-language pathologist. I now have a very different perspective on why these aspects are important and how they move cognition forward.

ZOOM TRAINING 2 FEEDBACK

If you understand the basic concepts you will have a better understanding of more complex concepts.
