It requires well-trained teachers with a professional approach to their work. Faithful to the Vision is the story of a teachers' training college which set about preparing teachers of that very calibre. It is the history of the Grahamstown Teachers' Training College.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe emphasis in the College was on the practical professional training offered. The focus was on the holistic education of the student, rather than merely on the content of the curriculum. Faithful to the Vision shows that the Training College more than earned its reputation as one of the finest training colleges in South Africa and that it was a unique educational development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Training College was a trail-blazer, a pioneer in the field of education practices. It was the first college in South Africa to introduce class music and class singing, the first to employ a physical education teacher, to have a full-time librarian and elocutionist, and it was at this Training College that the assignment method of study was introduced. All these innovations are highlighted in this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 174\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.37 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 19, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47685185732829,"sku":"9781920033279","price":48.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/GDKY3StA_c9781920033279_a927fcd2-4367-44d3-88f4-fd5919bf7e80.webp?v=1774007861","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/faithful-to-the-vision-a-history-of-the-grahamstown-teachers-training-college-1894-1975-paperback-1","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
