The PSP has developed a booklet of case studies of teachers that gives a personal insight into primary school teaching in South Africa and shows great evidence of how the PSP inspires and stimulates teachers’ work.

The short case studies showcase the stories of exemplary teachers from their very own points of view. Each of the teachers interviewed came to teaching Natural Sciences via different routes and with different educational and cultural backgrounds. Yet all attest to the fact that their involvement with the PSP enhanced their confidence, knowledge and skills whilst also stimulating their professional curiosity.

The PSP is very grateful to the teachers featured in this booklet for their stories as well as to volunteer students Krista Osmundson and Zach Rose from the University of Kentucky in the United States who lent us their services and enthusiasm and helped research the case studies.

Special thanks also go to Angela Schaffer, the Independent Education Consultant who wrote the foreword for the booklet.

The Case Studies Booklet is available at the PSP office or for download here!

WHAT TEACHERS SAY

"Yesterday I was doubting, but in the end I found that I’m lucky to be here because I always introduced fractions only in ONE way though sometimes there is a need for intervention. I used to get stuck. But now I had a break through! Thank you PSP!"

- Grade 2 Teacher from Siyazingisa Primary School, Guguletu
