Metro Central Training, WCED, 2012

Metro Central Education District

Part of the Project

Teacher Training in Metro Central has recently been concluded. 55 teachers, learning support teachers and officials were included in the current round of training. The training was very positively received: -

'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.'

'I am excited to start the programme in my classroom because I expected just to be taught how to teach the concepts, but I’ve learnt exceptionally more wrt conceptual understanding and vocabulary extension + so much more.'

Teachers who have been trained will start to practise the programme until the end of the year and start to officially implement the programme at the start of 2013. We look forward to working with these teachers and supporting their implementation in the classroom.

Good work, keep it up and do the same for my colleagues. This work could help save the children of South Africa … and give them hope for a better future.

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

The emphasis on language throughout the programme helps to develop learners' understanding of concepts and expand their vocabulary. The BCP stops learners from guessing, it gives them more structure and develops their cognitive functioning.

Metro Central Teacher Comment (July 2013)

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 ...

The workshop was very educative and an eye-opener. These are things that we usually just take for-granted.

The workshop helped me to understand how to work with the children in the classroom. I also learnt how to ask open-ended questions that will encourage my learners to think and to ask more questions.
