"My name is Ronald Engelbrecht. I have been part of the teaching fraternity for 39 yrs. I previously worked as Physical and Natural Sciences Subject Advisor within Metro South Education District. I am currently working as FET Curriculum Coordinator within the same district.  I am humbled by the fact that I cannot claim to have arrived as a teacher but have always loved to teach. My love for teaching sciences have allowed to meet and work with many knowlegeable, great and  gifted teachers, among others –

the late Dr Rhena Magas-Enus (SUNCOI Project & Teacher Development), Dr Gillian Arendse (Ithemba Labs – Teacher Development), Dr Mark Herbert (Physicist, UWC – Modeling Instruction Project), Professor Shaun Wyngard (Physicist, SUN – Computers in Education Project),  retired Professor Meera Chandrashekar (Missouri University – UWC Modeling Instruction Project), Professor Raymond Kessel (retired, Wisconsin University), Alphonso Hendricks (IMT Research Scientist – Teacher Development), Ian Schroeder (UWC Physics Department – AP Physic Project), Mick Storr (retired, CERN HST) and David Fish (retired, Perimeter Institute – Einstein Plus Programme, Waterloo University), Professor Lester Davies (UCT Health Sciences Faculty, Science in our Schools Project).

What a privilege!
