Interesting Teacher Comments: From BC Trainings, 2014

Interesting and inspiring feedback from trainings: May to August 2014

I understand now that teaching is not just standing in front of the class, but a discussion/dialogue with your children. Instructions have to be clear and detailed.

The BCP will be very helpful especially for slow learners, but also for the fast learners who will develop more language by writing and answering in full sentences.

It made me rethink how I teach and how I can change the language I use.

It helps learners to think and forms (the) foundation for reading, writing and mathematics.

Metro South Education District: Training (January, 2013)

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.

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.

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 have learned so much through the Kwena Basic Education Trust and for that I would like to take this opportunity to say: thank you.
