Educator professional development towards management of curriculum implementation: A case study in correctional centres Gauteng Region, South Africa.

Abstract

Educator professional development (EPD) is a key mechanism for improving classroom instruction and student achievement hence curriculum management is imperative for educators through their possession of motivational and inspirational skills. It is therefore imperative for educators in correctional centres to manage curriculum effectively and efficiently. This experience which is under constant ‘surveillance’ within the Correctional facilities is not often discussed by researchers. Basic literacy and numeracy skills are offered to adults who were socially marginalized and economically disadvantaged prior to their imprisonment.
