Finding answers!

By Jo Besford | Director

Finding answers at Zwelihle Primary
Finding answers at Zwelihle Primary

As an organisation, we are always designing and implementing innovative solutions that can positively impact the lives of the learners, teachers and schools that we support. Our goal is always to add value to 'our' schools, which in this Project means helping more learners to achieve in Maths!

We want to help teachers to find the answers about what their learners struggle with in Maths. So this year we have launched an online visualisation of the learners' assessment results. You may wonder what do we mean by 'online visualisation'? Teachers in each of the three schools supported by this Project are now using a real-time dashboard that shows different, dynamic analyses of their learners' results. 

How has this innovation helped teachers at Jamaica Way, Mzamomhle & Zwelihle with their Maths teaching?

"It tells you what your learners' weak areas are and what you perhaps need to revisit or focus more on. It also shows me exactly which questions they are finding difficult." A grade 5 Maths teacher commented.

A grade 6 Maths teacher agreed, "It gives a clear indication of which particular content areas the learners find challenging or which concepts needs consolidation "

Through your generous donations, we have been able to train & support teachers at the three schools to use this new online tool to help them answer questions about what their learners struggle with. It is now quicker and easier for teachers to provide their learners with the specific help they need to progress in Maths. 

"This data enables me to immediately commence with the intervention strategy!"

Together we are finding the answers that will help learners to achieve MORE in Maths - thank you!
