Basic Concepts Programme offered as a UCT short course

The training is for 32 Grade R and Grade 1 teachers from 7 schools in Metro East Education District, WCED. 

Dates: 17 May + 7 June + 19 July 2014

Venue: The Cape Teaching Institute (CTLI)

Times: 9h00-16h00

I found all aspects of the course very effective.  I now have a very good understanding of how to teach all the concepts.  I am going to be more specific and detailed when I teach. I need to research and plan my basic concepts lessons ...

Thank you for introducing me to this "life skill". It is wonderful that there is also an online, interactive, support system with resources available.

Now I can help the learners from our poorer areas to verbalize for themselves…  they are becoming more confident and starting to love their educational journey.

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

I love the programme. I was not aware of how to introduce a concept … . If I could reverse my years in teaching, I bet I would have produced mathematicians, scientists and doctors.
