I now have a broader knowledge of how to teach various concepts and reach all intelligences and learning styles.
Thinking Stars: Teacher Feedback From Training, August 2014
Before the course, I never focused on the main concepts as I never really thought them essential to "real life" as a speech-language pathologist. I now have a very different perspective on why these aspects are important and how they move cognition forward.
ZOOM TRAINING 2 FEEDBACK
I am blown away!!! This is most definitely the most useful course that I have ever attended.
Overberg District, Western Cape Department of Education (February, 2019)
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.
Schools Improvement Initiative, UCT (June 2013)
My concern about my learners’ language barriers and how to overcome these barriers has been solved for me.
Metro Central Training: Western Cape Education Department (October, 2015)
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.
We were taught the theory as well as the practice. I now feel confident to start to implement the programme with my class and even with my nieces and nephews.
