CLASS OVERVIEW
My teaching philosophy revolves around the belief that every student is different as they each possess unique abilities, talents, and potential; thus, I am committed to creating a learning environment that fosters curiosity, critical thinking, and a lifelong passion for learning.
In this Grade 9 Natural Sciences course which follows the Curriculum Assessment Policy Statement(CAPS) curriculum, learners will focus on developing their scientific skills as well as improving their digital literacy. Through various types of activities, learners will develop critical thinking, creative, communicative, and problem-solving skills. Google Classroom and various other platforms will be utilized to enhance these skills.
A range of topics on TERM 3 content which follows the Annual Teaching Plan (ATP) will be covered within this course. By the end of the term, learners will have a strong foundation within these scientific concepts.
To ensure that we are all on the same page, a clear and detailed syllabus has been outlined within the Course Description, providing clear expectations, learning objectives, and assessment structure. This can be utilized as a guide to success within this learning journey!
