More often than not it is teachers who have brilliant ideas of how to make Maths and Science come alive; how best to demonstrate Life Skills; how to show children the Geography of the land and how to explore the metaphors of the Arts. There are many activities in and outside the classroom that would build children's capacity through experiential learning, and enhance the learning outcomes of both the Revised National Curriculum Statement (RNCS) and the FET Phase (Gr. 10 - 12 ).
Motivated educators are often frustrated by the lack of resources that curtail their opportunities to improve the quality of learning for their learners. Teachers Dream gives these teachers the opportunity to connect with individuals and businesses who want to contribute to the upliftment of education in South Africa. Many great educator ideas could easily come to fruition with support of relatively small grants. In real terms, it actually doesn't cost that much to take a class of Grade 4 learners to the planetarium or the Grade 10's to an inspiring exhibition. The majority of Teachers Dream proposals require grants of less than R5000.
