      Facilitator

      I worked as a Facilitator in Pinelands North Primary school in Cape Town assisting a student with a rare genetic condition (Rubinstein-Tabi syndrome) in the classroom and with school-related tasks. I was responsible for updating and maintaining a Learning Support Plan (LSP) and creating an individualised CAPS-aligned curriculum to use while in the classroom. I worked within and alongside the Learning Support Team based at Pinelands North Primary. While I only worked here for a year, the experience of being in such an inclusive school environment transformed my way of thinking about education. Show less
