First Training & Support Sessions 

The Kwena Basin Extension Project is launching soon, and we’re excited to kick things off with our first set of training sessions on Colour and Shape!

Training Details

Dates: 15 & 16 September
Time: 9:00 – 16:00
Venue: Ukhwezi Primary School, Belfast
Refreshments & lunch will be provided for educators.

Following the training, teachers will receive classroom support from the BCF team and local fieldworkers to guide their first implementation of the Basic Concepts Programme.

Support visits will take place 17–19 September.

Together, we’re taking important steps to strengthen teaching and learning in Mpumalanga Province.

I am extremely grateful for being exposed to this programme … I'm always worried about those learners who are not progressing. The programme can support these learners in order to lay the foundation for academic progress. Practically my whole class needs this Foundation!!! How can I start with formal teaching if they do not know their Basics.

Metro South Education District: Training (January, 2013)

Ek waardeer alles wat Dr Louis ons geleer het. Daar is soveel dinge wat ek nie geweet het nie, bv. hoe om ons kinders te help leer. You are a star, thank you for your time. 

Pixley Kaseme: Training Sessions 1+2

Louis I salute you. I am empowered by the presentation. Never a dull moment even though the weather was hot. I've already implemented the programme with my learners.

Metro Central Training: Western Cape Education Department (February, 2016)

I realized that if one lays down a solid foundation for your learners they will become self-assured and confident human beings.

Metro Central, October 2013

Before the course, I never focused on the main concepts as I never really thought them essential to "real life" as a speech-language pathologist. I now have a very different perspective on why these aspects are important and how they move cognition forward.

ZOOM TRAINING 2 FEEDBACK

It made me rethink how I teach and how I can change the language I use.
