Grade 7 and 8 English Home Language teacher
Van Dyk Primary school

I taught English Home Language to learners who did not speak English at home. I taught 200 learners each year. I also would have extra classes after school to help learners achieve their full potential. I was made Subject head of the English department one year after I stared teaching. My responsibilities where setting up question papers and grading my fellow teachers exam paper to make sure they were on the curriculum standard. I help organize the school athletic days as well as I helped organized the Drum majorettes. I would help the learners with Public speaking and Debate. My main aim in my class room was to get learners to read more. So we started a DAR (Drop and Read) initiative, where we ring a bell at any time of the day and there where the learner would be they would have to drop what they are doing and read anything for 5 min from any resource.
