Orientating yourself at school and the community
Orientating yourself at school and the community
IN SCHOOL
Meet your teacher mentors and principal.
Orientate yourself to your assigned school: the space available, the time-table, the number of learners in the school, the different languages taught at the school.
Do a book audit; what books are available in classroom, library and storeroom.
Check the library or reading corners/classroom libraries so that you know what you will be working with.
Timetable, with your mentor, a Reading Period on the daily timetable.
IN THE COMMUNITY
Meet community stakeholders in the school community through the school principal, or other SMT or SGB members and tell them about the programme.
Find community spaces in which to do your reading activities.
