knowledge and experience as a point of departure. A variety of facilita on methods such as group, pair and individual work are used to enhance learning.

Macmillan Teacher Campus off ers workshops and unit standard aligned courses


Some of the many exci ng workshops that MTC conduct are for example: • Establishing func onal professional learning groups (PLG) to improve the quality of teaching and learning. Par cipants are guided to understand the importance of professional development; to iden fy and apply criteria that will lead to successful professional learning groups and to set up a yearlong programme that will meet their teaching and learning needs.


• Establishing and maintaining an Ins tu onal-Level/School-Based Support Team (ILST/SBST). This workshop addresses the strategies needed for schools/ins tutes to become fully inclusive in their quest to help learners and teachers overcome learning barriers.


• With South Africa’s reading and language levels history in mind, the


four available reading workshops as well as Teaching English First Addi onal Language in a fun way in the Founda on Phase, are a must. Reading across the curriculum gives teachers of all grades and subjects strategies to apply in their classroom so as to improve reading and understanding in speci c subjects.


The MTC accredited courses are based on Unit Standards from SAQA (Assessor; Modera on; Facilita on), but have been contextualised for applica on in a classroom. They address departmental and school policies, methodology and strategies unique to classrooms. They are not generic to corporate companies but focus on the performance standards for teachers as indicated in the Integrated Quality Management Systems (IQMS). The accredited courses are seen by


teachers as an opportunity to expand their professional competence, widen their perspec ves on diff erent topics and to add quali ca ons to their CVs and in so doing giving their careers a boost.
