Die Bron Primary School: Visit 4

Friday, June 23, 2017 - 13:00 to 19:00

Part of the Project

Continuation of Training

The training will focus on the conceptual domain of position, however, will also give teachers an opportunity to share their experiences about the programme with their colleagues.

Position is the 4th conceptual domain of the programme. There are two more conceptual domains that still need to be presented (letter and number). No date has yet been set for the last two training sessions. It might be that the last two sessions are presented in 2018.

The teachers have been applying what they have learnt in their classes with a small group of learners.

The school has formed an implementation committee, headed by the HOD Foundation Phase, to support teachers with the implemenation of the programme.

Practical, useful, clear, scaffolded for use in the classroom. Very approachable lecturer and lessening of anxiety through post-workshop contact.

I love the programme. I was not aware of how to introduce a concept … . If I could reverse my years in teaching, I bet I would have produced mathematicians, scientists and doctors.

Metro Central Teacher Comment (July, 2013)

‘The trainer was very good and it was refreshing to be part of a workshop that can actually make a difference in the lives and minds of learners.’ (Metro North, 2010)

Teacher Feedback

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.

Mitchell's Plain Primary School, November 2015

The BCP focuses on the learner… where the teacher acts as a mediator, prompts to access logical thinking and develops language.

Metro Central: Training, October 2014

The course was very helpful to me as a teacher, excellent and exciting, because it opened my mind … how to integrate basic concept in all learning areas. It also showed that children should not be limited and their understanding should be developed step-by-step.
