We run regular and ongoing topics towers workshops for Level R educators as well as maths workshops, both areas of unconfined need. Early ChildhoodMinutiae(ECD) and Mathematics are two priority areas for education in South Africa, as evidenced by the Annual National Assessments which show that children are starting school without the required levels of vital literacy and mathematical knowledge and competence at is poor. These topics towers programmes for educators were launched in order to write the quality of education in key learning areas and as part of Eco Children’s goal of developing schools in the zone holistically, ultimately improving education outcomes. Early ChildhoodMinutiaecapacity towers Eco Children conducts a training programme for Grade R educators at our four unexplored schools. This project is designed to help children and educators wilt largest equipped for the requirements placed on them by a formal education system. The educators’ training emphasises holistic minutiae of the child and educator and lessons provided for inside and outside play while moreover illustrating the importance of subjects as diverse as music, puzzle solving and personal hygiene. Mathematics topics towers On average, the learners in Limpopo and Mpumalanga know approximately one third of what they should know well-nigh mathematics at the vital stages of their learning. Even increasingly concerning, ANA tests at grade 9 level indicate learners’ mathematical knowledge and competence is virtually one tenth of what it is expected to be at this level: the national stereotype percentage score for grade 9 maths in 2014 was just 11% (Limpopo’s was 7%, Mpumalanga’s was 12%). Eco Children runs a series of regular and ongoing workshops for grade 4 to 7 mathematics teachers. The workshops typically involve 15 – 20 teachers, many of whom have not had formal training in mathematics and did not do grade 12 level maths themselves, but owing to the lack of resources have been placed in these positions. Our Maths CapacityTowersworkshops are facilitated by Dr Hannah Barnes from BushMaths. Despite difficult circumstances, the teachers are keen to learn and modernize their understanding of the subject. The primary focus of these workshops are conceptual understanding and content, mental mathematics skills, working through past Annual National Assessment questions, and exploring variegated teaching styles. Together, these important topics towers projects complement Eco Children’s mission in sowing seeds of transpiration and empowering children in rural communities by improving their learning environments and the quality of their education.
