is a teacher development organisation
working in schools in these 3 areas
Initial Teacher Education
KICP Initial Teacher Education is a model of preservice teacher training and development which relies on student teachers engaging in ITE qualifications through Open Distance Learning (ODL) while being placed as full-time teacher interns in schools. The aim of the programme is to produce skilled, well-developed educators able to provide a solution to challenges facing the teacher education sector in South Africa.
In Service Teacher Education
The most effective environment for teachers to improve their teaching skills is in their own classrooms, preferably in collaboration with a mentor, a tutor, a colleague or a peer coach but crucially, in their own authentic context. The KICP In-Service Teacher Education programme seeks to root professional development within the teachers’ school, taking into account their unique context.
Leadership Development
Responding to the needs of local public schools, KICP offers a variety of support activities to local school principals and management teams. The intention of the Leadership Development Programme is to ensure that school leaders focus on the key principles of leadership and implement these in their context.
Our work in schools is built on these
3 cross-cutting themes
Social and Emotional Learning
At the core of KICP programmes is the wellness of all those involved. Therefore, Social Emotional Learning is the foundation sustaining all three programmes.
Whole School Development
The objective of Whole School Development is to improve overall management systems and communication at all levels, throughout the school.
Digital Teaching and Learning
Digital Teaching and Learning (DTL) is another cross-cutting theme that is promoted across all KICP programmes. KICP believes in promoting a blend of digital and classroom learning.
KICP is known for inspiring and growing teachers from all backgrounds and empowering teachers with professional, personal and social competence, aligned to international best practice, including digital and growth mindsets.
