Die Bron Primary School: Visit 4

Friday, June 23, 2017 - 13:00 to 19:00

Continuation of Training

The training will focus on the conceptual domain of position, however, will also give teachers an opportunity to share their experiences about the programme with their colleagues.

Position is the 4th conceptual domain of the programme. There are two more conceptual domains that still need to be presented (letter and number). No date has yet been set for the last two training sessions. It might be that the last two sessions are presented in 2018.

The teachers have been applying what they have learnt in their classes with a small group of learners.

The school has formed an implementation committee, headed by the HOD Foundation Phase, to support teachers with the implemenation of the programme.

The workshop was very educative and an eye-opener. These are things that we usually just take for-granted.

Kwena Basic Education Trust

Very well put together course: well researched, well prepared, well delivered.  A course that can be trusted to yield results when applied in practice, and therefore a much needed and valuable tool to implement with learners who are in danger of failing to learn adequately.

Open Public Training, 2015 (Cape Town)

Very informative, well presented, engaging, coherent and thought provoking.

Metro South Training, Western Cape Education Department, 2015

‘BCP is foundational to a child's learning. It is the building blocks on which all other concepts are built. A concept needs to be fully understood by a child before a new concept can be taught. We often rush children's learning due to time constraints which is not correct.’ (KIDZPOSITIVE, Occupational Therapist, 2011)

Teacher Feedback

'It was well run... Knowledge gained priceless. It taught me vital strategies in the teaching model for optimal learning and understanding to take place.' (Metro Central, 2012)

 

Teacher Feedback About Training (2012)

I love the programme. I was not aware of how to introduce a concept … . If I could reverse my years in teaching, I bet I would have produced mathematicians, scientists and doctors.
