It made me look at my teaching in a different way. I am excited to implement what I have learnt.

It is a method of teaching…to establish the basic foundations or building blocks in order for children to make sense of the environment around them.  

Die Bron Primary School: Visit 1

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.

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

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