The Basic Concepts Programme is basically the same as Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development. It is a way of teaching… it gives individuals a way to structure their thinking and reasoning.

'I can actually see results from using some of the ideas I got during the training.'

 

Central Training 2012

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

The workshop was very educative and an eye-opener. These are things that we usually just take for-granted.

Kwena Basic Education Trust

Teachers use questions that evoke thinking and inquiry, so that the learners are able to discover and experience for themselves.

Metro South Training, Western Cape Education Department, 2015

I feel very strongly that Basic Concepts should be introduced to all learners- this will give me the time to develop their conceptual language and increase their vocabulary and verbal fluency.
