Gr 12 PAT Phase 3

Here is a link to the PPT I am using for the Grade 12 PAT. For many of the learners they are now completing a crash course in PATting - this PPT has been useful. My learners have to hand in next week as we start Prelims exams on 3 August. I do not want to upload any examples, as last year my learners' work was found throughout the country!

Holiday in-service training course, PAT and Evaluating sources

I have just attended a great CAT teacher in-service training session here in the Western Cape. It was for a whole week in the holidays. What drew the teachers to attend such a course? – quality presentations where they could learn, as well as great teas and lunches! It was organised by a subject advisor. He also regularly organises a course before the start of the school year every January, as well as every June/July. This July course was focused on Operational Knowledge. Last year the June course focused on Advanced Applications. I estimate that 90% of the teachers in his area attended this July course. Good for him.
With regard to the PAT these URLs supplied by another Western Cape subject advisor are great on checking web sites for trustworthiness - http://www.immunize.cpha.ca/uploads/cciap%20internet%20tips%20e%202008.pdf and information in general - http://www.virtualchase.com/quality/checklist_print.html
