Educational Development Project - A Case Study of Kathu Primary
Abstract

Kathu Primary is a school in the Northern Cape that decided that they want to become an institution of excellence, producing 21st century learners that can impact tomorrow's world. Neuro-Link was approached by the school principal in 2008 to assist the school to become an accredited brain-based learning and development school.

Actions Taken
  • A brain profile assessment was done of all teachers to determine their unique learning styles and how their profile will influence how they teach

 

  • All teachers went through the learning experience "Brain Integration Techniques & Activities for the Classroom "that empowered them to adjust their learning approach in the classroom to be more inclusive of all learning styles and also to use brain integration techniques and activities to improve the transfer of learning

 

  • A 12 Emotional intelligence competencies profile was done of all teachers to determine their emotional intelligence skills and see where they can improve themselves

 

  • All teachers then went through Neuro-Link's "Emotional Intelligence for Teachers" course to empower them with knowledge, skills and insights to how to incorporate emotional intelligence skills in the classroom while teaching their specific subject

 

  • Selected teachers from different phase groups then did the Neuro-Link Brain Profile Practitioner Training to learn how to compile the brain profiles of learners in different age groups

 

  • All teachers were theoretically and practically evaluated in the areas that they were trained in. After achieving a pass rate of minimum 80 % in their theoretical and practical exams, teachers were certified competent and the school was formally accredited as an "Accredited Brain-Based Learning & Development School"
