Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Africa<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Cape Town – While most teachers at Bottelary Primary School adjust their teaching pace, style and content to address misunderstandings, the Schools Evaluation Authority (SEA) found that a few teachers fail to give adequate feedback.<\/p>\n

This is according to the newly released SEA report which evaluated how well schools in the Western Cape are performing.<\/p>\n

The SEA independently evaluates Western Cape schools and develops reports which are published for parents and communities to know how well the schools in their areas are performing.<\/p>\n

The evaluations, which were conducted between 2 and 3 March 2020, provide an independent and external examination of school practices and include recommendations on what should be improved.<\/p>\n

The schools are assessed on:<\/p>\n

Bottelary Primary School<\/b><\/p>\n

According to the SEA report, the schools were rated out of 4 according to the above criteria \u2013 4 being Outstanding, 3 being Good, 2 being Requires Improvement and 1 being Inadequate.<\/p>\n

Bottelary Primary School received 2 for Learner Achievement, 2 for Teaching and Learning, 3 for Behaviour and Safety, 3 for Leadership and Management, 3 for Governance, Parents and Community.<\/p>\n

Overall performance for the school was rated 2.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn interviews and lessons observed, learners read, speak, listen and write at the level expected for their age and phase of education. However, a few learners do not read with comprehension,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost learners listen to instructions. Writing reflected in the learners\u2019 workbooks is generally of a good quality. Some learners make grammatical and spelling mistakes, and these are corrected by the teacher.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report also mentioned that the quality of classroom teaching practice varies substantially from the Foundation to the Intermediate Phase.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the Foundation Phase, most learners participate in lessons and, if distracted, are quickly engaged, but in the Intermediate Phase, a few learners are disengaged because they are either disinterested or the teacher is not able answer their questions,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough the questioning of learners is frequent in most classes, the questions are not open and thought-provoking … Most teachers adjust their teaching pace, style and content to address misunderstandings and support learning.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report said that in a few classes the planning and delivery of lessons require improvement, and that there is no evidence of differentiated tasks.<\/p>\n

It added that although most teachers give encouraging and constructive verbal and written feedback, there are a number who give inadequate or no feedback at all.<\/p>\n

The recommendations that the SEA made were:<\/p>\n
