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

Open Public Training, Cape Town (2013)

This is an excellent programme that can benefit any learner or educator.

Metro Central (2013): Training

Now I can help the learners from our poorer areas to verbalize for themselves… they are becoming more confident and starting to love their educational journey.

Metro Central (2013); Training

‘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

The sessions were clear, informative, exciting, well presented, practical, logical and relevant to the context of teaching young learners.

Metro Central, October 2013

The course was very helpful to me as a teacher, excellent and exciting, because it opened my mind … how to integrate basic concept in all learning areas. It also showed that children should not be limited and their understanding should be developed step-by-step.
