Part of the Project

BCP FOCUS SCHOOLS IN SOUTH AFRICA

The principal and management team at Edendale Primary have found that language development is a key challenge for learners at their school and recognised the significant impact the Basic Concepts Programme (BCP) was having at schools in the surrounding area.

They requested training for all 8 of the Foundation Phase teachers, as well as the Learning Support Teacher of the school.

The two first training sessions (Colour and Shape) have already been completed.

Training is being facilitated by master mediator, Gill Brand.

The BCP has been formally added to the Foundation Phase timetables three times a week and the Basic Concepts Foundation provides classroom support and guidance in between trainng sessions.

Metro South Education District: Teacher Training, May 2014

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

‘It is an excellent programme. Just a pity that not all reception year educators are exposed to the training. My understanding of the programme- it is developed to systematically mediate concepts so that learners are guided to develop an understanding and so that learning is meaningful.’ (Metro Central, 2012)

Training Feedback

I understand how I can assist my learners who need intervention. The BCP will boost the self-esteem and knowledge of weak learners. It definitely helps me to guide my learners, using the correct language applicable to the situation.

Metro South Education District: Training (January, 2013)

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

Very informative, well presented, engaging, coherent and thought provoking.
