Part of the Project

Teacher training over the years (2010-2012) has been hands-on and engaging. Teachers have become familiar with the BCP training motto: "Show one, do one!"

Some comments from teachers after completing training in 2010:-

'We need to give them (the learners) an opportunity to teach us e.g. ask questions in order for you to know how much the kids know. By doing that you are engaging them (the learners)… you are giving them an opportunity to speak.'

'The Basic Concepts is a way to … help children and not teach them … so that they can think and know the meaning.'

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

Presentation was well organized and clear. The lecturer explained extensively about the content of the course. The programme should be implemented by all Foundation Phase teachers and be recognized by government. The BCP is CAPS aligned.

The sessions were clear, informative, exciting, well presented, practical, logical and relevant to the context of teaching young learners.

I found this course extremely helpful. One of the best I have attended. The programme makes so much sense and has really made me think!

It made me look at my teaching in a different way. I am excited to implement what I have learnt.
