I have learned new strategies to use across the CAPS curriculum, also new exciting ways to build language. I've become more aware of the language that I use in my classroom.

Teacher Feedback
Thank you for introducing me to this "life skill". It is wonderful that there is also an online, interactive, support system with resources available.

My concern about my learners’ language barriers and how to overcome these barriers has been solved for me.

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.
Metro Central Teacher Comment (July 2013)
Encourages children to be observant and provides opportunity for building language skills - from basics to more complex.
The work … is certainly original, and in some important aspects constitutes a contribution to the fund of knowledge about cognitive development and early education.
