Basic Concepts training at Christel House, South Africa

Monday, July 7, 2014 - 08:30 to Thursday, July 10, 2014 - 16:30
Christel House

This is a training for all Foundation Phase teachers and teaching assistants

 

Date: 7 July - 10 July

Venue: Christel House

Time: 9h00 - 13h00

Note: This is a closed training event

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

Very well put together course: well researched, well prepared, well delivered.  A course that can be trusted to yield results when applied in practice, and therefore a much needed and valuable tool to implement with learners who are in danger of failing to learn adequately.

This was a fruitful, educational, informative, empowering, enjoyable, helpful, superb, well-planned, and inspiring experience.

Metro South Education District: Teacher Training, May 2014

‘It is an excellent programme. Just a pity that not all reception year educators are exposed to the training. My understanding of the programme- it is developed to systematically mediate concepts so that learners are guided to develop an understanding and so that learning is meaningful.’ (Metro Central, 2012)

Training Feedback

I was very happy about my development on this course… often as teachers we do not pay attention to detail, but because of Basic Concepts I was aware of the lack of language use in my class. I am now using a different approach with my learners and being aware of the small details that make a big change in the way I teach and learners learn. Thank you for this eye opening course.

I now have a broader knowledge of how to teach various concepts and reach all intelligences and learning styles.
