Training Programme for Project Teachers

24 Foundation Phase educators from 4 project schools will be trained and supported to implement the BCP inside their classes.

The training will comprise 12 sessions run over the year. See the training programme below.

The training programme allows teachers time to implement each of the domains inside their classes before continuing with the next domain.

Classroom support and mentoring visits will be provided at the start of each domain and during the implementation of each domain.


I realize that children need to know their basic concepts so that they can develop understanding of the content of the curriculum.

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)

Practical demonstration of mediation. Louis is an excellent mediator and it really helped to see it demonstrated. Loved the dedication, enthusiasm and firm belief in worth of BC approach to learning. I really think you opened our eyes to new methods of promoting learning and especially development of language.

BCP Short Course, UCT (June 2013)

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

The sessions were clear, informative, exciting, well presented, practical, logical and relevant to the context of teaching young learners.

The BCP is the best place to start for learners with limited vocabulary and for closing the vocabulary gap.
