This training will be run by Michele Lothian, the Learning Support Advisor in this district.

Michele has extensive knowledg of the programe and is a certified trainer of the Basic Concepts Programme.

The Grade 1 and 2 teachers will be trained at this school.

The training sessions will be interspersed over the year, allowing teachers time to implement the programme before proceeding to the next conceptual domain.

The training is endorsed by Basic Concepts Unlimited.

Practical, useful, clear, scaffolded for use in the classroom. Very approachable lecturer and lessening of anxiety through post-workshop contact.

Open Public Training, 2015 (Cape Town)

'Definitely exceeded my expectations. I see that the BCP can have far reaching consequences if implemented optimally. We were told the how and why of implementation rather than the what.' (Metro Central, 2012)

Central Training 2012

Very informative. Very well presented. Very good use of visual aids.

Thinking Stars: Teacher Feedback From Training, August 2014

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.

Open Public Training, 2015 (Cape Town)

Developed new method/techniques on how to use myself better in sessions and get better potential from children.’ (KIDZPOSITIVE, Occupational Therapist, 2011)

Teacher Feedback

Basic Concepts are the building blocks on which cognition and perception is built.
