Master Trainers: Final Training Week

The focus of this week's training will be on the final conceptual domains that were not covered earlier in the year.

In addition, the week will give us the opportunity for the Northern Cape Officials to support and mentor educators in the last two domains of the programme.

The prospective trainers would thus have had the opportunity to see the entire process, from the training of the teachers and reflection on the process to the follow-through inside the classroom.

This makes for a fully immersive experience for the new trainers.

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

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 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.

'I can actually see results from using some of the ideas I got during the training.'

 

Central Training 2012

Teachers use questions that evoke thinking and inquiry, so that the learners are able to discover and experience for themselves.

‘Although I have been teaching Grade R for 23 years... I have learnt so much over the past 2 weeks and have already seen a change in most of my learners.’ (Metro Central, 2012)
