Mentor Visits Dashboard

TA Zazi Data Book was fixed by Sibongile. We had to regroup learners according to the letters known so that TA can teach a certain group accordingly without leaving any learners behind. TA had to change the space where she facilitates her sessions because it was noisy and learners couldn't focus, we were given a quiet space in the centers living room. I will return to the center on the 28 May to ensure that she revisits the letter sounds that each group needs to focus on so she can introduce new letters after she has identified if they can recognize and identify those letters.

TA's time has been adjusted and she is now able to do a full 20 minute session for all 5 sessions. TA will not be coming to work Thursday because of early inspiration sessions. She will come to work Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.She took over Vuyisanani Majoko learners on the 11 March 2025 who went on maternity leave. The center requires an additional TA as the TA only manages to see some learners only three times a week instead of everyday. The center has 39 learners.

We have new learners that recently started Iphemna Finya and Luncumo Finya started on 19 May 2025. Ahlumile Rawana is frequently absent at school, Abongile Mzuzunyana struggles with speech, Lupholwethu Mdolomba started in April with the program

TA didn't report to work on Tuesday 6 May 2025, 13 and 14 May 2025. She never reported both to myself and the centers Principal. She also forged sessions on the 6 May 2025

TA started 5 May 2025 she reassessed the learners for baseline however they were already assessed by previous T.

The TA started on 5 May 2025 and she started with assessments which she finished on Wednesday morning 7 May 2025. She managed to only do 4 sessions for today

The TA started on the 5 May of 2025 and she started with baseline assessments. She only managed to do 2 sessions for Monday and Tuesday however I spoke with educators and we have created a schedule that will accommodate both TA and School

The TA only started on 5 May 2025 they started with assessments. She started with sessions on the 6 May 2025

The TA was averagely prepared. Letter cards with focus letters were looked for and sorted infront of the kids. The TA didn't even determine a game to play with the kids. Instead of using the ZZ Alphabet freeze cards to teach she wrote letters on blank A4 pages. Additionally, she was not moving/introducing any new letters. She has been reinforcing letters i and o which her kids already knew. The session duration was less than 20min. I did like the writing Activity she did with the kids. It kept them engaged and it helped them understand the letters better. After her session I then sat her down and walked her though how she is suppose to prepare for a session, which materials to use and also how a session should look like.

She prepared the letters that she was going to review and introduce before calling her groups. Her session was very fun and she was engaging with the kids and the children were participating and engaging with the TA.

Yonela she prepared her letters and spread them in the carpet. She had a energiser to break the ice and to make the comfortable. She asked them to say the letter sound for each of the letter that were spread on the carpet. She encouraged peer learning. Some of her kids were confusing the letters and a few mastered the letters that were being taught.

TA is still associating letters with examples, her learners are showing progress but she is not tracking accordingly.

The TA was very confused with how to do a session. She was doing individual sessions with her kids as opposed to group learning. She was not prepared and was not even sure which letters to cover. Also her grouping was totally messed up. I had to erase everything and start over. Upon seeing all of this I then chipped in and demonstrated how a session is done and for how long. Had to revisit the TA guide with her and show her where she can find all the information regarding session structure, preparations and games. The second session I observed was better than the first but still needs polishing.

Although the letter tracker is used correctly I feel like her kids should be very far with their letters because they easily identified and sounded the letters introduced today. Only one wasn't too confident but the overall group catched on fast. My advice to her was to introduce 2 new letters tomorrow or even see the group again later today to introduce a new letter. Additionally, she played the game Snap. The game was played under 5min. Mediocre instruction was given to the children but her kids were able to identify and sound effortlessly.

Siyolise prepared her letter cards before calling her children, she had a 1 on 1 session with her kids she asked each learner to say the letters they did in their last session and then she introduces the new letters.

Siyasanga prepared her letters first then she called her learners then she had a short but effective ice breaker before asking each child to say the letters that were done in there last session, she also had a book were each child can write the letters that are being introduced by the TA. Siyasanga she also encouraged peer learning.

Oyisa played hop scotch with her kids it was a fun learning game for the kids., I also enjoyed it. She asked each child the letters they did in the game after the session.

She was doing revision of all the shaded letters in each group to see if the kids remember the letter sounds.

Her children were grouped incorrectly. She made her own grouping instead of using the LKPT file that was sent. I sat her down and we fixed it. Also I noticed that she introduced new letters even though her kids had not mastered the previously learnt. During her revision I picked up that all her kids should still be on level 1 instead of level 3 because they haven't mastered A nor E. Her preparation was quite average. Letter cards were prepared infront of the kids.i rectified that with her.

While observing the learners in class were very few because it's the last day before report day. She managed to do a few kids she was using incorrect letters also had gaps in her book after her session I checked her book we fixed it. @ Melisizwe TA: Sinalo Fumbatha

TA started with games before reviewing and introducing letters, TA’s data book is not used correctly as she is not shading per mastered letter.

26/03 @Imbasa Primary School TA : Liyema Dlwengu in RA During Liyemas session she was teaching the children very well however teaching them incorrect letters. The session the children listen and focus while teaching and they are engaging during the session.

24 March @Vezubuhle P.S , the TA : Bongisa Kweza in RA was having a hard time during her session because the children were playing and not really focusing what the TAs teaching them and kept on interrupting while she's busy teaching.

Last week the TA could not start with her sessions after done assessing , because the learners were writing tests. I had to to fix her letters after the session she had , as she was not teaching in the correct order.

The children were busy with quarterly assessments ao the TA could only do 2 sesssions that day also the TA used groupings of her own provided scores from the Survey CTO App without PDF.
