I really cannot wait to start- I want all my children to be Grade 1 ready at the end of this year.

Teacher Feedback
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.

Goals and objectives were clear, easy to grasp and manageable. The enthusiasm and energy with which the course was presented made for an enjoyable 3 days!

The Basic Concepts Programme is basically the same as Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development. It is a way of teaching… it gives individuals a way to structure their thinking and reasoning.
