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.

I have enjoyed the BCP online training. I do think it was of great benefit as I have learned new approaches to help children learn. I also thought that BCP is also very helpful to children with difficulties as it provides them with concrete experience through manipulating the materials and being asked different questions to help them be aware of their way of thinking. Louis was very thorough and delivered the smallest details to help us understand the method. I found that very helpful and it enabled me to use it with my kids who have a difference in age and needs. I also enjoyed attending the training via Zoom as Louis was very efficient in using different features to make the training practical, fun and enjoyable.

ZOOM TRAINING 2 FEEDBACK

‘Although I have been teaching Grade R for 23 years... I have learnt so much over the past 2 weeks and have already seen a change in most of my learners.’ (Metro Central, 2012)

Teacher Feedback

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)

The BCP is the best place to start for learners with limited vocabulary and for closing the vocabulary gap.

I understand now that teaching is not just standing in front of the class, but a discussion/ dialogue with your children.

Metro South Education District: Teacher Training, May 2014

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.
