Attention: All principals and Grade R teachers
RE: Grade R
RMATHS training
We trust you are all back in good health, rested and energised for 2017 moving from good to great!
As per Curriculum GET Minute: DCG 0018/2016 dated 20161013-5012 we have informed schools about MEED’s roll out plans in the Grade R letter (Reference: GRADE R 2017 term 1) that was sent out during term 4 2016.
Due to some changes in MEED’s programme we also needed to adjust the roll out plans for the RMATHS training. Please find attached the final training plan for 2017 as Addendum A.
The intervention programme will be rolled out in 2 phases:
i. Jan – Jul 2017: All isiXhosa speaking teachers in Khayelitsha, Strand and Kraaifontein areas.
ii. Jan – Jul 2018: All English and Afrikaans speaking teachers in the district.
Please register timeously for phase 1 by completing the registration form Addendum B. Registration forms can be handed in at the first cluster meetings on Saturday, 14 January 2017, emailed or faxed to Malinda Kruger.
The training plan for Saturday, 14 January 2017 has been attached as well. Teachers need to take note of the venue they need to attend at. Registrations will start from 08:00 and the training programme will start from 08:30. Catering will be available at the 4 venues. All participants need to bring their MATHS GR R CAPS documents along with stationery. Notes will be provided.
It is of utmost importance that all isiXhosa speaking Gr R teachers who would like to implement the programme should attend all clusters from the first round as implementation starts immediately and follows a tight time schedule.
ELIT 2017
There were a few isiXhosa speaking teachers that were not involved in the ELIT training of 2016. Stellar Wordworks would like to accommodate them in training during the second semester from July to December 2017. They will follow an adapted programme. To finalise the training plan we need to know how many teachers will be taking part and which schools they will represent. This will be the last opportunity to be part of the intervention programme.
Teachers who still need training need to complete the registration form as Addendum C. Please note that this training will only be for Grade R teachers currently in a Grade R class at a registered WCED school or site.
CAPS training 2017
Our CAPS Start Up training is scheduled for the week 10 – 13 July 2017. As WCED is funding the training it will only be available for new teachers in a Grade R class at a registered WCED school or site. Unfortunately we cannot allow any volunteers or students. Registration form is attached as Addendum D. Please complete and send it via email or fax to Malinda Kruger.
