The Cape Teaching & Leadership Institute (CTLI) will be offering the courses listed in Annexures A, B, C and D to school principals and teachers during school terms and school holidays in 2010. |
2. |
Persons interested in attending these courses are advised to register, via their education district offices. (See Annexure E for registration procedure.) |
3. |
Substitute teachers will be employed by the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) in place of teachers attending these courses provided that
- there is no teacher in excess at the school;
- the substitute teacher is not a governing body paid teacher; and
- the substitute teacher is not already substituting for another teacher.
|
4. |
The finding and nomination of a suitable substitute is the responsibility of the school sending a teacher on a course. |
5. |
Courses are repeated a number of times during the year to enable more teachers to attend. |
6. |
Only 56 teachers can be registered for each separate course. These teachers will be drawn from all 8 education districts. This means that only a limited number of teachers can attend a course provided at a given time. |
7. |
Courses of four weeks' duration have been split into two blocks to allow teachers to return to school and put their training into practice. |
7.1 |
A teacher must attend both Block 1 and Block 2 of a particular course in order to complete the course. For example: If a teacher chooses to attend Course 2 on Foundation Phase Numeracy, that teacher must attend Block 1 of the course, from 15 February to 26 February 2010, and then return to complete the course by attending Block 2, from 26 July to 6 August 2010. |
7.2 |
Swapping between blocks of different courses will not be allowed. |
7.3 |
Teachers must therefore select courses that will take place during times when they will be available to attend a full course. |
8. |
Nominations from district officials for courses to be presented in the first term of 2010 are to reach the CTLI before 20 November 2009. |

For further information, please do not hesitate to contact any one of the following officials:
