If you understand the basic concepts you will have a better understanding of more complex concepts.

 

Metro Central, October 2013

I was very happy about my development on this course… often as teachers we do not pay attention to detail, but because of Basic Concepts I was aware of the lack of language use in my class. I am now using a different approach with my learners and being aware of the small details that make a big change in the way I teach and learners learn. Thank you for this eye opening course.

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.

It made me rethink how I teach and how I can change the language I use.

Strategies to help teachers to support learners to think, as well as thinking about how thinking occurs and what the gaps might be.

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