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

I understand now that teaching is not just standing in front of the class, but a discussion/ dialogue with your children.

Thank you for introducing me to this "life skill". It is wonderful that there is also an online, interactive, support system with resources available.

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.
