Literacy Project in Cape Town South Africa

The Shine Centre
Bringing literacy and language enrichment to school children with reading difficulties
The Shine Centre stands for Support and Help In Education. We are located at Observatory Junior School in Cape Town which is an inner city school. Shine Centres are established in carefully selected schools where 99% of the children are historically or economically disadvantaged. Our aim is to ensure that they reach their full potential and receive support in language and literacy.
We do this by encouraging local people and businesses from the community to partner their local school in providing struggling learners with weekly support lessons. In the future we aim to add numeracy to our programme.

Transforming Learners

Transforming Learners ....are generally highly motivated, passionate, often persistent even in the face of failure, and highly comitted learners. They most often:

* place great importance on learning ability, committed effort, independence, vision, and intrinsic resources.
* use personal strengths, ability, persistence, challenging strategies, high-standards, learning efficacy, and positive expectations to self-direct learning successfully.
* lose motivation and may become frustrated or resistant in environments or conditions that mismatch their aggressive learning needs.

AZ Home Learners

The Arizona Home Learners project aims to extend needed technology and software to home school families throughout the state - building on the Global Literacy Foundation mission that "quality learning should be personal, affordable and convenient".

Home school families use a variety of learning methods to deliver education to their children. These include traditional and non-traditional curriculum from a vast number of home learning resources. The gap exists when families within home learning communities have limitations to accessing quality technology and programs to ensure optimal success. As home learners are not part of the brick and mortar school system they would inadvertently lose out on any government funded technology programs that might be implemented in public schools.
