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.

See report on the visit below.

'Definitely exceeded my expectations. I see that the BCP can have far reaching consequences if implemented optimally. We were told the how and why of implementation rather than the what.' (Metro Central, 2012)

If you understand the basic concepts you will have a better understanding of more complex concepts.

Metro Central, October 2013

Goals and objectives were clear, easy to grasp and manageable. The enthusiasm and energy with which the course was presented made for an enjoyable 3 days!
