Training Programme for Project Teachers

24 Foundation Phase educators from 4 project schools will be trained and supported to implement the BCP inside their classes.

The training will comprise 12 sessions run over the year. See the training programme below.

The training programme allows teachers time to implement each of the domains inside their classes before continuing with the next domain.

Classroom support and mentoring visits will be provided at the start of each domain and during the implementation of each domain.


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.

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

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.

Presentation was well organized and clear. The lecturer explained extensively about the content of the course. The programme should be implemented by all Foundation Phase teachers and be recognized by government. The BCP is CAPS aligned.

'It was well run... Knowledge gained priceless. It taught me vital strategies in the teaching model for optimal learning and understanding to take place.' (Metro Central, 2012)

 

Teacher Feedback About Training (2012)

The Basic Concepts Programme is basically the same as Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development. It is a way of teaching… it gives individuals a way to structure their thinking and reasoning.
