The course was clear, open and easy to understand basic concepts. What I liked most was that it links with the curriculum and it really works. It needs to be implemented at my centre.

I have learned so much through the Kwena Basic Education Trust and for that I would like to take this opportunity to say: thank you.

‘All foundation phase educators, esp. Grade R, should attend this workshop. If everyone in the education system uses this BCP model, we should see remarkable improvements in the learners' LIT/NUM over a couple of years.’ (Metro North, 2009)
Teacher Feedback
I feel very strongly that Basic Concepts should be introduced to all learners- this will give me the time to develop their conceptual language and increase their vocabulary and verbal fluency.
Metro Central Training: Western Cape Education Department (October, 2015)
This is an excellent programme that can benefit any learner or educator.

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
The programme is explicitly linked to the South African curriculum (NCS) and references issues which are confronted by all teachers and challenges of ‘laying foundational’ thinking.’
