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

BCP Short Course, UCT (June 2013)

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.

I realize that children need to know their basic concepts so that they can develop understanding of the content of the curriculum.

It made me look at my teaching in a different way. I am excited to implement what I have learnt.

Very informative, well presented, engaging, coherent and thought provoking.

Metro South Training, Western Cape Education Department, 2015

I have enjoyed the BCP online training. I do think it was of great benefit as I have learned new approaches to help children learn. I also thought that BCP is also very helpful to children with difficulties as it provides them with concrete experience through manipulating the materials and being asked different questions to help them be aware of their way of thinking. Louis was very thorough and delivered the smallest details to help us understand the method. I found that very helpful and it enabled me to use it with my kids who have a difference in age and needs. I also enjoyed attending the training via Zoom as Louis was very efficient in using different features to make the training practical, fun and enjoyable.
