We use formative assessment during a learning programme allowing teachers to make real-time adjustments to their instruction and provide immediate feedback to students.

In Grade R the timetable is called the daily programme and it is made up of three main components, namely:

ADHD is so much more than a diagnosis; it is an impairment in self-regulation that impacts the brain’s executive functioning skills. This implies a lack of the ability to control and regulate abilities and behaviours, and predict the consequences of an action, work towards a defined goal, and initiate or stop actions.

In today’s increasingly diverse and interconnected world, fostering an inclusive classroom environment is more important than ever. Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are not just buzzwords: they are essential principles that can transform the educational experience for all learners. This guide aims to provide teachers with practical strategies to promote DEI in their classrooms, ensuring that every learner feels valued and supported.

Assessment is not an endpoint but a checkpoint within the learning process—rooted in the Latin "assidere," meaning "to sit with"—urging us to humanise assessment beyond mere marks by gathering rich qualitative data directly from learners, thereby reflecting our genuine commitment to learner growth.

Dear educators, one common misconception among learners is believing that 'learning' for a test or exam begins only when they sit down to revise. As teachers, it is crucial to convey to our learners that the learning process begins much earlier, from the moment they encounter new information in the classroom. Effective study habits and skills are built continuously, and our role is to guide them in recognising and seizing these learning opportunities from the outset.

Ladies and gentlemen, gather 'round! We're about to embark on a journey more exhilarating than a caffeine-fuelled staff meeting, more rewarding than finding a forgotten chocolate bar in your desk drawer, and more transformative than that first cup of coffee in the morning.
