Interesting Teacher Comments: From BC Trainings, 2014

Interesting and inspiring feedback from trainings: May to August 2014

I understand now that teaching is not just standing in front of the class, but a discussion/dialogue with your children. Instructions have to be clear and detailed.

The BCP will be very helpful especially for slow learners, but also for the fast learners who will develop more language by writing and answering in full sentences.

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

Teacher comments from BCs training events (May - August 2014)

We were taught the theory as well as the practice. I now feel confident to start to implement the programme with my class and even with my nieces and nephews.

Mitchell's Plain Primary School, November 2015

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.

Open Public Training, Cape Town (June 2013)

The BCP is about the way we talk to the children in class and how we give lessons in class. How we should introduce a topic to the children and mediate with them.

Northern Cape Project (Phase 2, 2020-2021): Training Feedback

What I understand about the Basic Concepts Programme is that it is very useful in all subjects. I must implement it in every lesson. I must also try to be as accurate and precise as possible when teaching.

Die Bron Primary School: Visit 1

I am extremely grateful for being exposed to this programme … I'm always worried about those learners who are not progressing. The programme can support these learners in order to lay the foundation for academic progress. Practically my whole class needs this Foundation!!! How can I start with formal teaching if they do not know their Basics.
