For me the most effective aspect was the basic teaching model. When I implemented the model I found that my learners were more focussed when I followed the steps of the model.
Ikwezi: Schools Development Unit, July 2014
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.
Schools Improvement Initiative, UCT (June 2013)
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)
The BCP is the best place to start for learners with limited vocabulary and for closing the vocabulary gap.
Christel House Training, July 2014
The workshop helped me to understand how to work with the children in the classroom. I also learnt how to ask open-ended questions that will encourage my learners to think and to ask more questions.
Pixley Kaseme: Training Sessions 1+2
I feel very strongly that Basic Concepts should be introduced to all learners- this will give me the time to develop their conceptual language and increase their vocabulary and verbal fluency.
