Louis I salute you. I am empowered by the presentation. Never a dull moment even though the weather was hot. I've already implemented the programme with my learners.

Thank you very much for the training. We learnt so much from you and how to run the programme... This was interesting and we really enjoyed it.

Strategies to help teachers to support learners to think, as well as thinking about how thinking occurs and what the gaps might be.

The BCP focuses on the learner… where the teacher acts as a mediator, prompts to access logical thinking and develops language.

'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)

Very well put together course: well researched, well prepared, well delivered. A course that can be trusted to yield results when applied in practice, and therefore a much needed and valuable tool to implement with learners who are in danger of failing to learn adequately.
