Teaching Teachers

We are piloting a curriculum for FET teachers as part of our Bachelors of Education Degree at the University of Johannesburg. The programme will be linked to community engagement through the module for Hospitality Studies (3rd year). Our third year students will manage and mentor a group of 1st year Bachelor of Education students through 3 'edible gardens' that will be developed and sustained at local schools where they will be doing their teaching pracicals in January 2015 and again in Sept 2015. The aim of the project is to empower communities around the University to start, maintain and use for educational and feeding purposes.
