1. The Cape Teaching & Leadership Institute (CTLI) will be offering courses, as shown in Annexures A, B, C and D, for educators and school managers during the school terms in 2009.
2. Educators interested in attending these courses are advised to register via the education district officials.
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 eight education districts of the province. This means that only a limited number of educators can attend a course at a given time.
5. Courses of four weeks duration have been split into two blocks to allow the educators to go back to school and implement the training.
5.1 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 2 February to 13 February 2009 and return to finish the course by attending block two from 25 May to 5 June 2009.
5.2 Swapping between the blocks of different courses will not be allowed.
5.3 Educators must therefore select courses that will take place during times when they will be available to attend a full course.
6. Nominations from District officials for courses running during the first term in 2009 are to reach the CTI before 28 November 2008 to facilitate a smooth registration process in Term 1 of 2009.
7. For further information please do not hesitate to contact Nobantu Pasiya at 021 900 5022 or e-mail: npasiya@pgwc.gov.za.
8. Please bring the contents of this minute to the attention of all educators.
