Question 1
Define the following concepts:
1.1 Leadership:
Leadership is the potential and ability to influence the behaviour of a group of
people or employees towards the accomplishment and achievement of
common identified goals. It is also a process of social influence in order to
maximise the efforts of others towards achieving these goals. Leadership
inspires, guides, and sets direction.
1.2 Diversity:
Refers to the existence of variations of many different types of things or
different characteristics included in a group of people. The characteristics and
things could be anything that makes us unique and different as individuals,
such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status,
age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies.
1.3 School Governing Body:
It is a statutory body or committee of parents, learners (only from Garde 8 or
higher), teachers as well as non-teaching staff that endeavours to enhance
teaching and learning by working together to promote the schools’ well-being
as well as the overall effectiveness of the school community. The general role
of the School Governing Body is governance which is not simply the system
of administration and control of education, but rather by the whole process by
which education policies are formulated, adopted, implemented and
monitored.
1.4 Reflective teaching:
It is a systematic reviewing process of collecting, recording and analysing a
teacher’s thoughts and observations. It requires teachers to look at what they
do in the classroom, they think about why they do it and if it works or not and
if it should be changed or improved - a process of self-observation and self-
evaluation. Being able to reflect on what things work and what things don’t,
can help you improve as a teacher. Reflective teaching practices include
being able to learn from your learners, co-workers and even yourself.
1.5 Multi-grade teaching:
It refers to the teaching of more than one grade of learners with mixed ages
and mixed abilities in one class by one teacher. Schools with multigrade
classes are referred to as multigrade schools and learners are not grouped
and taught in separate classes.
Question 2
The assessment of learners is an integral part of teaching and learning in the
Foundation Phase. Discuss this statement under the following sub – headings:
