Part of the Project

The Northern Cape Project (2018 - 2024): Reaching All Grade R Learners

Training and Mentoring Programme

The teachers in Frances Baard District have been divided into six clusters of about 10 teachers per cluster.

Each of the three officials involved with the project are responsible for two clusters.

The teachers will attend two days of training per conceptual domain over the course of the year.

The teachers are required to apply what they have learnt during training inside their classes and share best practice on a dedicated social media site.

I have learned new strategies to use across the CAPS curriculum, also new exciting ways to build language. I've become more aware of the language that I use in my classroom.

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

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.

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.

‘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)
