The Cape Teaching Institute (CTI) will be offering courses, as shown in Annexures A, B, C and D, for educators and school managers during school term in 2007.
|
| 2. |
Educators interested in attending these courses are advised to register via the EMDC officials, as indicated in Annexure E.
|
| 3. |
One course is repeated a number of times to enable different cohorts of educators to attend.
|
| 4. |
Only fifty-six educators can be registered per course. These educators will be drawn from all seven EMDCs of the province. This means that only a limited number of educators can attend a course at a given time.
|
| 5. |
Courses of three or four weeks duration have been split into two blocks to allow the educators to go back to school and implement the training.
|
| 5.1 |
A three-week course has two blocks, a first block of two weeks and a second block of one week.
|
| 5.2 |
A four-week course has two blocks of two weeks duration per block.
|
| 6. |
An educator must attend both block one and two of the same course in order to complete the full course: e.g. Should an educator select to attend course 3, of a Foundation Phase Numeracy course, the educator will attend block one of this course from 14 May to 25 May 2006 and return to finish the course by attending block two from 27 August to 7 September 2006.
|
| 7. |
Swapping between the blocks of different courses will not be allowed.
|
| 8. |
Educators must therefore select courses that will take place during times when they will be available to attend a full course.
|
| 9. |
Nominations from EMDC officials for courses running during the first term in 2007 are to reach the CTI before 20 November 2006 to facilitate a smooth registration process in term 1 of 2007.
