The emphasis on language throughout the programme helps to develop learners' understanding of concepts and expand their vocabulary. The BCP stops learners from guessing, it gives them more structure and develops their cognitive functioning.

Thinking Stars: Teacher Feedback From Training, August 2014
The training was very effective and informative … and gave us insight into how to teach and develop language. I wish there could be more of such training to develop ourselves further.

Teacher Feedback About Training (2012)
My concern about my learners’ language barriers and how to overcome these barriers has been solved for me.
Metro Central Training: Western Cape Education Department (October, 2015)
‘It is an excellent programme. Just a pity that not all reception year educators are exposed to the training. My understanding of the programme- it is developed to systematically mediate concepts so that learners are guided to develop an understanding and so that learning is meaningful.’ (Metro Central, 2012)
