The conference was facilitated by two A+ facilitators and attended by 29 principals and teachers. Five Kouga apprentice facilitators assisted and co-facilitated as part of their training. Each day started at 8.30am with registration and ended at 4pm. The focus for the three days was on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Revisiting the A+ Essentials: Arts, Climate, Experiential Learning, Curriculum, Enriched Assessment, Infrastructure, Multiple Learning Pathways and Collaboration<\/li>\n<li>Nurturing creativity through the arts. A+ believes that teachers are more likely to nurture the children\u2019s creativity when they are in touch with and enjoying their own creativity<\/li>\n<li>Getting ready for 2023 by setting personal and professional goals, and planning early learning activities linked to the aims of the 0 \u2013 4 years National Curriculum Framework.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Comments <\/strong>written by the participants on their reflection forms in response to the following question \u201cWhat has changed since you joined A+?\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>I have learned so many things that I never could have thought of<\/em> (Nicolette)<\/li>\n<li><em>Jy kom leeg en jy gaan weg altyd vol<\/em> (You come empty and you always go away full) (Natashia)<\/li>\n<li><em>I have learned a lot and have also learned to give children opportunities to be creative <\/em>(Anon)<\/li>\n<li><em>Positief te dink<\/em> (To think positively) (Susan)<\/li>\n<li><em>My critical thinking evolved and expanded<\/em> (Carla)<\/li>\n<li><em>During an exercise where participants were invited to reflect in writing on what stops them being creative, anonymously, the following note emerged: \u201cArt stopped me from be creative. I never thought to do art was part of exploring and collaboration and that you can make something out of nothing. What stops you from being creative in your ECD? \u201cNothing, cause kids will love it\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>The<strong> highlights<\/strong> of the Cohort 2 Spring Conference were the participant\u2019s enthusiasm, enjoyment, willingness to try new learning experiences and their growing confidence and creativity. Carole Scott\u2019s activity on \u2018loose parts\u2019 had participants working together, using their imagination, problem-solving and creating with recyclables. Trevor Arosi and Prince Matsoni from the Windfarm Trust paid a visit on Day 2. All the participants received a story book and a Maths Up poster book donated by author Reviva Shermbrucker and by Cally Cuhne from RedInk. Creative sessions by guest artists, Kezia Gerber and Sharon Welman, put the participants in touch with and enjoying their own creativity. The collaborative nature and creative possibilities that the art activities offered, enabled extremely shy participants to blossom towards the end of the three days, and the therapeutic nature of Kezia Gerber\u2019s art approach touched many hearts, showing once again the power of creativity.<\/p>\n<p>The<strong> challenges<\/strong> were the power outages that disrupted video and slide presentations, music activities, and catering. Humansdorp was a safe community until gang activities and a turf war emerged this year. Six young men from local families were killed during the week of the Spring Conferences. The high turnover of teachers at ECD centres (particularly in poorer schools where salaries are low) continues to undermine implementation of training. A+ plans to support principals next year in how to facilitate staff development with new, unqualified and inexperienced staff.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photos<\/strong> taken on the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> and
