Teacher Training in Metro Central has recently been concluded. 55 teachers, learning support teachers and officials were included in the current round of training.
The flier explains the main focus of the project:-

Louis Benjamin and Tami Mhlati visited teachers in the Strand to mentor and monitor their progress. These teachers have developed wonderfully.

Well done to the Etafeni teachers and care workers!
Nyanga, Cape Town

Baseline data for the project was gathered from a school close to the Etafeni Day Centre.

The practitioners again responded excellently to this colour revision session and introduction to shape. The project has been actively supported by the Principal of the Centre.

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.

I had an idea what the course would be like, but it was much more than what I had expected.

Thank you Louis for you dedication and enthusiasm. We need our teachers to be enthused with a love of children and a passion for mediating to our learners. God Bless.

'Definitely exceeded my expectations. I see that the BCP can have far reaching consequences if implemented optimally. We were told the how and why of implementation rather than the what.' (Metro Central, 2012)

Central Training 2012

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.

It is a method of teaching…to establish the basic foundations or building blocks in order for children to make sense of the environment around them.
