Veteran teacher Modise Rantsieng will launch his cutting-edge book full of facts and information to promote proactive learning and teaching at the Mangaung Resource Centre in Bloemfontein on 27 May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n From an Embryo to a Seed, and to the Lemons and Lemonades<\/span> is about his comprehensive approach aimed at teaching and enabling learners, and helping them achieve their full potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe book empowers teachers to realise that in their profession they will have ups and downs, lemons and lemonade. They should regard their teaching as a calling, and not allow the lemons to outweigh their lemonade,\u201d said Rantsieng.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book is broad-based, and introduces educators to the stages of their life in the school environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rantsieng is a teacher of life, having been a prominent English, Mathematics and Science teacher when he was still part of the workforce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a football fanatic, he used to write newspaper articles about the sport for City Press<\/span>, Sowetan<\/span>, and Express<\/span>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has attained qualifications and gathered experience in Adult Basic Education and Training (Abet), and was seconded to a Primary Science Programme (PSP) by the Department of Education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his incumbency at the PSP, he was designated to Botshabelo, Goldfields and Bloemfontein primary schools, where he used to conduct Science workshops for the teachers of this subject. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also introduced the idea of Parents Pupils Science Day, which became very popular. He became acquainted with this concept during an educational tour through America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do bookings for the book launch, or for more information, call Charmaine Kolwane Mrwebi on 071-557-3231. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
