We regard teaching as a team sport, you have to share solutions to very difficult problems,\u201d said Asja Strydom, HOD at Despatch Preparatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSometimes you have to find a solution quickly before 40 children arrive. Therefore I want to help, offering ideas, solutions and resources weekly on the Teaching the Aftermath page on Facebook. I will also post Zoom links about topics that can assist teachers in their massive task,\u201d said Strydom who also is a member of the Literacy Association of South Africa (LITASA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said LITASA wants to assist educators on as many platforms as possible and found that the closer to basics the topics are the better they were received by the public and members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strydom is a member of various bodies where she collects the information and passes it on to all on the group. \u201cParents have even started joining the group to get ideas they can use at home to help their children,\u201d said Strydom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Please feel free to join Teaching the Aftermath on Facebook and feel free to share any relevant information or ask any questions you may have with regard to teaching.
