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.


Practical, useful, clear, scaffolded for use in the classroom. Very approachable lecturer and lessening of anxiety through post-workshop contact.

‘All foundation phase educators, esp. Grade R, should attend this workshop. If everyone in the education system uses this BCP model, we should see remarkable improvements in the learners' LIT/NUM over a couple of years.’ (Metro North, 2009)

Teacher Feedback

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.

The BCP is the best place to start for learners with limited vocabulary and for closing the vocabulary gap.

I really cannot wait to start- I want all my children to be Grade 1 ready at the end of this year.

Practical demonstration of mediation. Louis is an excellent mediator and it really helped to see it demonstrated. Loved the dedication, enthusiasm and firm belief in worth of BC approach to learning. I really think you opened our eyes to new methods of promoting learning and especially development of language.
