Part of the Project

Trainer-of-Trainers (ToT)

The ToT will be initiated in 2022 with officials from three districts (John Taolo Gaetsewe, Pixley Ka Seme, and Namaqua) as well as officials from the Provincial Head Office in Kimberley.

Each official will attend 6 weeks of training over the duration of the year. See the programme below.

The training process is very thorough- the trainees are required to i) prepare to run their sessions, ii)watch a model session, iii) run their own session and, iv) thereafter reflect (as a group) on their training sessions.

The officials will each train a small group of teachers during the year. We estimate that about 60 teachers will be trained during the year.

After the teachers have been trained in 2022, they will be expected to implement the programme with support inside their classes with all their learners.

The teacher training process is based on the same model used by the BCs Lead Team in the province.

Thank you very much for the training. We learnt so much from you and how to run the programme... This was interesting and we really enjoyed it.

I am extremely grateful for being exposed to this programme … I'm always worried about those learners who are not progressing. The programme can support these learners in order to lay the foundation for academic progress. Practically my whole class needs this Foundation!!! How can I start with formal teaching if they do not know their Basics.

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

Metro Central Training: WCED (February, 2015)

Practical demonstration of mediation. Louis is an excellent mediator and it really helped to see it demonstrated. Loved the dedication, enthusiasm and firm belief in worth of BC approach to learning. I really think you opened our eyes to new methods of promoting learning and especially development of language.

‘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)
