Basic Concepts Programme offered as a UCT short course

Dates: 17 May + 7 June + 19 July 2014

Venue: The Cape Teaching Institute (CTLI)

Times: 9h00-16h00

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

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.

‘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

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.

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

The course was clear, open and easy to understand basic concepts. What I liked most was that it links with the curriculum and it really works. It needs to be implemented at my centre.
