Ikwezi Lead Teacher Project, Phase 2b: Teacher Training for Metro East Education District, 2014

Basic Concepts Programme offered as a UCT short course

The training is for 32 Grade R and Grade 1 teachers from 7 schools in Metro East Education District, WCED. 

Dates: 17 May + 7 June + 19 July 2014

Venue: The Cape Teaching Institute (CTLI)

Times: 9h00-16h00

I have enjoyed the BCP online training. I do think it was of great benefit as I have learned new approaches to help children learn. I also thought that BCP is also very helpful to children with difficulties as it provides them with concrete experience through manipulating the materials and being asked different questions to help them be aware of their way of thinking. Louis was very thorough and delivered the smallest details to help us understand the method. I found that very helpful and it enabled me to use it with my kids who have a difference in age and needs. I also enjoyed attending the training via Zoom as Louis was very efficient in using different features to make the training practical, fun and enjoyable.

ZOOM TRAINING 2 FEEDBACK

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

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.

I realize that children need to know their basic concepts so that they can develop understanding of the content of the curriculum.

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.
