Training Programme for Project Teachers

24 Foundation Phase educators from 4 project schools will be trained and supported to implement the BCP inside their classes.

The training will comprise 12 sessions run over the year. See the training programme below.

The training programme allows teachers time to implement each of the domains inside their classes before continuing with the next domain.

Classroom support and mentoring visits will be provided at the start of each domain and during the implementation of each domain.


This workshop is one of the most beneficial workshops I have attended. The trainer’s presentation style was warm, easy to follow and understand. I like that he included practical activities, examples and demonstrations.

I had an idea what the course would be like, but it was much more than what I had expected.

‘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 sessions were clear, informative, exciting, well presented, practical, logical and relevant to the context of teaching young learners.

Metro Central, October 2013

‘BCP is foundational to a child's learning. It is the building blocks on which all other concepts are built. A concept needs to be fully understood by a child before a new concept can be taught. We often rush children's learning due to time constraints which is not correct.’ (KIDZPOSITIVE, Occupational Therapist, 2011)

Teacher Feedback

I am really glad I made an effort to attend: Fantastic, enlightening, empowering.
