Gavin showing us around International House Cape Town
GCU has teamed up with a world renowned
language school in Cape Town to assist our tutors and librarians in teaching
skills. Our first meeting was held on Wednesday where we received a warm
welcome from the IH staff and teachers. After a cup of tea, a biscuit and a bit
of mingling our tour began with Gavin, an incredible guy with a great sense of
humor. For me it was inspiring to see how a professional school is set up,
their classrooms, their displays and the energy that radiated from everyone in
the school. We had the opportunity to hear all about how the school runs and the
students they receive from all around the world.
GCU staff and IH teacher get an opportunity to exchange ideas
We were also able to give them an idea
of GCU and our projects here in Heideveld. The teachers were eager to learn
about how we manage the diverse number and abilities of students and the kind
of lessons we give, it was comforting to me that we really are going in the
right direction. It is a rare opportunity that we are able to share ideas from
professionals it felt good to talk to people who have firsthand experience in
the teaching field and be given tips on how to improve our teaching and
lessons. We are all excited for our relationship with IH Cape Town and the opportunities
it will bring to the children in our community and our GCU family.
