Teachers’ Resource Pack
SACAP supports teachers: We at SACAP (the South African College of Applied Psychology) have developed a comprehensive resource pack to support teachers in delivering holistic and effective teaching in classrooms. This initiative aims to equip educators with practical strategies that enhance both their teaching methods and the overall learning experience in classrooms.
This resource pack will provide guidance on fostering empathy and inclusivity, ensuring that diverse student needs are acknowledged and addressed. It will also focus on helping teachers become facilitators of active, inquiry-based learning, encouraging student engagement and critical thinking. Additionally, this platform will offer insights into transforming teaching approaches, enabling educators to adapt to evolving educational demands.
Recognising the challenges educators face, this resource pack includes tools for building resilience, helping teachers manage stress and sustain their passion for teaching. By integrating these elements, SACAP seeks to empower teachers with the skills and mindset necessary for impactful, student-centered education.
