This training will be run by Michele Lothian, the Learning Support Advisor in this district.

Michele has extensive knowledg of the programe and is a certified trainer of the Basic Concepts Programme.

The Grade 1 and 2 teachers will be trained at this school.

The training sessions will be interspersed over the year, allowing teachers time to implement the programme before proceeding to the next conceptual domain.

The training is endorsed by Basic Concepts Unlimited.

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.

‘The trainer was very good and it was refreshing to be part of a workshop that can actually make a difference in the lives and minds of learners.’ (Metro North, 2010)

Teacher Feedback

The training was very effective and informative … and gave us insight into how to teach and develop language. I wish there could be more of such training to develop ourselves further.

Developed new method/techniques on how to use myself better in sessions and get better potential from children.’ (KIDZPOSITIVE, Occupational Therapist, 2011)

Teacher Feedback

I feel very strongly that Basic Concepts should be introduced to all learners- this will give me the time to develop their conceptual language and increase their vocabulary and verbal fluency.
