This one-day workshop will discuss the tenets of concept-based curriculum and instruction with a focus on mathematics. The morning sessions will look at our changing world and new paradigms for education. The afternoon session will look at crafting statements of conceptual understandings.

The answers to the following questions will be covered in this pre-conference workshop:

  • How is knowledge structured and how can we utilize that structure to develop the intellect?
  • How can we move to a three-dimensional curriculum and instruction model that allows us to compact the overloaded curriculum, and teach both factual and conceptual knowledge with greater depth and rigor?
  • How can we design instruction to achieve synergistic thinking between the factual and conceptual levels of knowledge and understanding?
  • How do we scaffold thinking to deeper levels?
