Kwena Basin Education Trust: Visit To Project, May 2015

Monday, May 4, 2015 - 08:00 to Friday, May 8, 2015 - 15:00

Dr Benjamin and Dr Place to visit the project

The main purpose of this visit is to continue with the training of the teachers. The focus of the training is on the 3rd conceptual domain: Size.

Follow up class visits will assist teachers to start to implement this conceptual domain.

An additional focus of this visit will be on developing structures to sustain the implementation of the programme between our visits.

The next visit to the project (September 7 -11, 2015) will focus on the 4th conceptual domain: Position.

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.

Teacher Feedback

I found this course extremely helpful. One of the best I have attended. The programme makes so much sense and has really made me think!

I am blown away!!! This is most definitely the most useful course that I have ever attended.

Teacher Feedback

What I understand about the Basic Concepts Programme is that it is very useful in all subjects. I must implement it in every lesson. I must also try to be as accurate and precise as possible when teaching.
