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.

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!

‘All foundation phase educators, esp. Grade R, should attend this workshop. If everyone in the education system uses this BCP model, we should see remarkable improvements in the learners' LIT/NUM over a couple of years.’ (Metro North, 2009)

Teacher Feedback

The course was very helpful to me as a teacher, excellent and exciting, because it opened my mind … how to integrate basic concept in all learning areas. It also showed that children should not be limited and their understanding should be developed step-by-step.

The sessions were clear, informative, exciting, well presented, practical, logical and relevant to the context of teaching young learners.

All that I learnt from Day One  I was immediately able to apply in my class the following day… with remarkable results!
