Northern Cape Project: Master Trainers- Part 2 (2023)

Monday, October 23, 2023 - 08:30 to Friday, October 27, 2023 - 12:30

Master Trainers: Final Training Week

The focus of this week's training will be on the final conceptual domains that were not covered earlier in the year.

In addition, the week will give us the opportunity for the Northern Cape Officials to support and mentor educators in the last two domains of the programme.

The prospective trainers would thus have had the opportunity to see the entire process, from the training of the teachers and reflection on the process to the follow-through inside the classroom.

This makes for a fully immersive experience for the new trainers.

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

The Basic Concepts Programme is basically the same as Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development. It is a way of teaching… it gives individuals a way to structure their thinking and reasoning.

‘The trainer was very good and it was refreshing to be part of a workshop that can actually make a difference in the lives and minds of learners.’ (Metro North, 2010)

Teacher Feedback

Good work, keep it up and do the same for my colleagues. This work could help save the children of South Africa … and give them hope for a better future.

The BCP provides "tools" for higher-level learning.

Public Open Training, Cape Town (2014)

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.
