Abstract

Following the implementation of the new Curriculum 2005, outcomes‐based education, professional development is one of South Africa's national goals in the continuing reform of its education system. Most school teachers are not familiar with teaching outcomes‐based education and need training to be able to do so. Project UNIVEMALASHI, a district‐level systemic reform initiative for teacher development has been successful in improving the content knowledge, skills and attitudes of 110 participating foundation phase (6–9 years) teachers during the first three years of its implementation. Data collected through classroom observation, questionnaire, surveys, and tests given to participating teachers revealed a positive impact of the project on teacher classroom practice. The essential components of the programme are described as a guide for delivering school‐based professional development in outcomes‐based education.
