This presentation is based on the book “Concept-based Curriculum and Instruction for the Thinking Classroom” by Erikson, Lanning and French (eds.) and will be suitable for secondary school teachers interested in planning their units of instruction with an emphasis on conceptual understanding. With unit design becoming increasingly inter and intra-disciplinary, this presentation aims to support our understanding of the different types of knowledge and processes which lead to deeper student learning and the transfer of skills.
The presenter is a recently certified CBCI trainer.
Outcomes: A multi-step guide to create concept-based unit plans. An awareness of The Structure of Knowledge and The Structure of Process Models that underpin concept-based unit planning.
