Times have changed, yet educational strategies in many classrooms have not – and students are not reaching their full potential because of it. Reaching beyond skill drills and memorization, educators are tapping into new strategies that actually engage learners and allow them to retain information, including CBCI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is CBCI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Concept-Based Curriculum and Instruction is an educational framework wherein units are designed with a focus on concepts and deeper conceptual understanding across subjects instead of remote memorization and surface-level curriculum. It is a model that allows for knowledge to be transferred as students dive into their own experiences and individual thinking to dig through to deeper levels of understanding rather than superficial and fleeting knowledge, allowing them to better read the world around them. To learn more about what goes into CBCI and its benefits, this blog post<\/a> is an excellent read!<\/p>\n\n\n

Why CBCI? Main points behind CBCI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • CBCI provides students with more than surface knowledge by providing them opportunities to engage with the topic in a variety of meaningful ways to not only strategically process texts and information, but create a synergy into the understanding of concepts within, ensuring a deeper and long-lasting understanding. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • It encompasses learning that develops the conceptual mind, helping students to discern patterns, make connections, and develop deeper understandings that can then be transferable to other aspects of learning. Students are able to bring in their own thoughts and experiences to the factual study, leading them to make personal meaning and connections out of what they are covering. Thus, they can easily transfer this knowledge to other situations, environments, and settings by increasing their creative thinking to become better problem solvers. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • In CBCI, teachers do not generally teach principles and concepts as facts in order to give the opportunity for the student themselves to think through to deeper levels of comprehension and not do the thinking for them by providing them straight away with the answers. As such, it provides avenues of critical thinking that is self-directed and self-disciplined. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
