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.

‘It is an excellent programme. Just a pity that not all reception year educators are exposed to the training. My understanding of the programme- it is developed to systematically mediate concepts so that learners are guided to develop an understanding and so that learning is meaningful.’ (Metro Central, 2012)

Training Feedback

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.

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.

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

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