Die Bron Primary School: Visit 4

Friday, June 23, 2017 - 13:00 to 19:00

Part of the Project

Continuation of Training

The training will focus on the conceptual domain of position, however, will also give teachers an opportunity to share their experiences about the programme with their colleagues.

Position is the 4th conceptual domain of the programme. There are two more conceptual domains that still need to be presented (letter and number). No date has yet been set for the last two training sessions. It might be that the last two sessions are presented in 2018.

The teachers have been applying what they have learnt in their classes with a small group of learners.

The school has formed an implementation committee, headed by the HOD Foundation Phase, to support teachers with the implemenation of the programme.

I realized that if one lays down a solid foundation for your learners they will become self-assured and confident human beings.

'It was well run... Knowledge gained priceless. It taught me vital strategies in the teaching model for optimal learning and understanding to take place.' (Metro Central, 2012)

Teacher Feedback About Training (2012)

Training was out of this world. I would definitely recommend this training to everyone ...

Christel House Training, July 2014

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

Metro Central: Training, October 2014

Presentation was well organized and clear. The lecturer explained extensively about the content of the course. The programme should be implemented by all Foundation Phase teachers and be recognized by government. The BCP is CAPS aligned.
