SATeacher has been empowering teachers to teach since 2003 through training and the provision of equipment and resources to support the South African Curriculum.
To date SATeacher has developed and published 581 titles, trained over 30 000 educators from the most rural to the most sophisticated school environments across South Africa. The approach with both resource development and training sessions is always hands-on and practical, employing internationally researched techniques and methodology. The aim is to make a difference in the understanding of educational content by both teachers and their learners.
While Mathematics remains a key focus area, SATeacher has devoloped Curriculum based material on a wide content spectrum on appointment by the Ministry of Education, the Robben Island Museum, the Paper Manufacturers Association of South Africa, Maropeng - Cradle of Humankind and many other organisations.
SATeacher supplies, installs, trains on and provide Curriculum based content for Interactive whiteboards and distributes a huge range of their own and other educational resources from pencils through books and sound bars to laptop computers and eResources.

Unpacking of curriculum for eLearning resources
Over the past 14 years SATeacher was involved in a number of projects and partnerships,
including the following: (We see ourselves as a leaders in a managing the development of
education material and training teachers on the practical aspect of teaching.)
3. Dreyer Lötter and Liezel Blom, started SATeacher in 2003, to focus
on the professional development of teachers in South Africa.
Through the development of teachers the need arose to develop
structured teaching plans and resources, based on the South
African curriculum.
To date SATeacher developed and published hundreds of titles
and the materials are used in every school in South Africa.
Dreyer Lötter and Liezel Blom also founded Cytocento who was
appointed by the Gauteng Educational Trust as part of the
GPLMS Project with 225 school and almost 900 teachers during
2013.
Cytocento was also appointed by the Gauteng Educational Trust
to develop the Mathematic lesson plans for the GPLMS project
for both the Foundation and Intermediate phases for 2012 and
2013.
SATeacher is also involved in developing resource packs for the
Robben Island Museum and PAMSA (Paper Manufacturers
Association of South Africa) in line with the National Curriculum
(CAPS), similar to the resource pack we developed for Maropeng
– Cradle of Humankind.
Both Liezel Blom, Dreyer Lötter and Deirdre Hilton are appointed
by the Ministry of Education for the development of the
Mathematics DBE Learner Books. They are involved in the writing
of the Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 Mathematics Learner Books
and Teacher Guides and aligning the Grade 1 and 9 Learner
Books with the CAPS.
In addition to traditional education, SATeacher has entered the
eLearning space, developed various resources and providing
school with the best eLearning solution for their schools.
Summary
All our content is
developed from
scratch by South
Africans for the South
African market.
