The BCP focuses on the learner… where the teacher acts as a mediator, prompts to access logical thinking and develops language.

I realize that children need to know their basic concepts so that they can develop understanding of the content of the curriculum.

Presentation was well organized and clear. The lecturer explained extensively about the content of the course. The programme should be implemented by all Foundation Phase teachers and be recognized by government. The BCP is CAPS aligned.

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

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.
