CBCI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CBCI is an educational framework that is led by the creativity, problem solving, and inquiry of the students.&nbsp; It\u2019s design is 3 dimensional- what does the student know (factually), understand (conceptually), and do (skillfully)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>CBCI pushes students past the lower cognitive work of regurgitating facts.\u00a0 They are asked real world questions in an environment where they can explore the process to really establish a deep understanding of the topic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CBCI expects students, through teacher guidance, to connect different concepts.\u00a0 This skill is imperative in transferring knowledge and skills across subject areas, or into job sites.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CBCI presents students with an opportunity to grow their personal intellectual character.\u00a0 Young learners experience creative thinking, critical thinking, Reflective (metacognitive) thinking, and problem solving.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why CBCI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Curriculum is more than standards, textbooks, or courses of study.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>CBCI impacts the lives of students beyond the classroom.\u00a0 It provides them with the access to their greatest resource- their intellect.\u00a0 This can not easily be taken away from them.\u00a0 Students will gain the ability to transfer knowledge and skills between classes, jobs, and within their chosen communities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Both teachers and students have empowerment and agency\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>CBCI gives the students a voice in their education.\u00a0 The students\u2019 question, build upon each other, and explore avenues that the teacher might not have thought of.\u00a0 Each person comes from a different background.\u00a0 Each class may go different directions when attempting to answer larger conceptual questions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CBCI in Action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am an elementary school intervention specialist.&nbsp; I work with K-1 students with moderate to intense needs in a unit.&nbsp; My students can often face challenges with completing certain academic assignments.&nbsp; In my classroom, students have begun experiencing concept based curriculum instruction through structured play opportunities.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For my unit plan, I want to focus on the concept of cause and effect.&nbsp; Students can explore what will happen in different situations.&nbsp; I can ask what will happen if the toy car gets hit by another toy car.&nbsp; They can explore this off of a ramp, on the floor, both cars pushed, only one pushed- whatever they come up with!&nbsp; I will provide different terrains for the cars to be in (sensory bins with rice, sand, rocks, leaves).&nbsp; We can then explore cause and effect in falling building blocks, or blowing and popping bubbles.&nbsp; I will provide several different opportunities for them to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"275\" height=\"183\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-teaching-practices\/files\/2024\/09\/toy-car-crash.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1089\" style=\"width:469px;height:auto\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My biggest challenge will probably be that my student population is pre-verbal.&nbsp; I will provide visual supports such as AAC for \u201cfall\u201d or \u201cstop\u201d to aide in the discussion of what is happening.&nbsp; They may also become focused on their own goals with the toys rather than continuing to explore our concept and may need many prompts and breaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check out What Other Educators are Saying:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-mr-hill-039-s-musings wp-block-embed-mr-hill-039-s-musings\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"eDP8MR6MWN\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mrhillmusings.com\/2017\/11\/19\/eight-misconceptions-about-concept-based-curriculum-and-instruction\/\">Eight misconceptions about concept-based curriculum and instruction<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute;
