Thank you very much for the training. We learnt so much from you and how to run the programme... This was interesting and we really enjoyed it.

Before the workshop I thought (that) I knew how to teach or introduce my lessons, but now I know that I was not doing justice to my learners. I took them for granted ... as if (they would) very easily understand my instructions.

‘BCP is foundational to a child's learning. It is the building blocks on which all other concepts are built. A concept needs to be fully understood by a child before a new concept can be taught. We often rush children's learning due to time constraints which is not correct.’ (KIDZPOSITIVE, Occupational Therapist, 2011)
Teacher Feedback
I realize that children need to know their basic concepts so that they can develop understanding of the content of the curriculum.

Very informative, well presented, engaging, coherent and thought provoking.

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.
The programme is explicitly linked to the South African curriculum (NCS) and references issues which are confronted by all teachers and challenges of ‘laying foundational’ thinking.’
