Follow up class visits will assist teachers to start to implement this conceptual domain.

An additional focus of this visit will be on developing structures to sustain the implementation of the programme between our visits.

‘I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop as I was given the opportunity to work with learners … while being guided. The trainer demonstrations with the learners were an excellent idea. This workshop has been a success as I can now see what our learners lack. It made a lot of sense.’ (Metro South, 2009)

Teacher Training

I realize that children need to know their basic concepts so that they can develop understanding of the content of the curriculum.

Basic Concepts are the building blocks on which cognition and perception is built.

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!

Goals and objectives were clear, easy to grasp and manageable.  The enthusiasm and energy with which the course was presented made for an enjoyable 3 days!
