Metro Central Training, WCED, 2012

Saturday, May 26, 2012 - 00:00
Metro Central Education District

Teacher Training in Metro Central has recently been concluded. 55 teachers, learning support teachers and officials were included in the current round of training. The training was very positively received: -

'Definitely exceeded my expectations. I see that the BCP can have far reaching consequences if implemented optimally. We were told the how and why of implementation rather than the what.'

'I am excited to start the programme in my classroom because I expected just to be taught how to teach the concepts, but I’ve learnt exceptionally more wrt conceptual understanding and vocabulary extension + so much more.'

Teachers who have been trained will start to practise the programme until the end of the year and start to officially implement the programme at the start of 2013. We look forward to working with these teachers and supporting their implementation in the classroom.

The BCP focuses on the learner… where the teacher acts as a mediator, prompts to access logical thinking and develops language.

Basic concept is about improving teaching methods, language and the learning processes of our learners.

I found this course extremely helpful. One of the best I have attended. The programme makes so much sense and has really made me think!

‘BCP is foundational to a child's learning. It is the building blocks on which all other concepts are built. A concept needs to be fully understood by a child before a new concept can be taught. We often rush children's learning due to time constraints which is not correct.’ (KIDZPOSITIVE, Occupational Therapist, 2011)

Teacher Feedback

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

Very informative. Well planned. Well organised. Based on CAPS. Good intervention programme.
