Riassunto

Students become experts and innovators through Concept-Based teaching

Innovators don’t invent without understanding how the world works. With this foundation, they apply conceptual understanding to solve problems.

Discover how to help learners uncover conceptual relationships and transfer them to new situations. Teachers will learn:

• Strategies for introducing conceptual learning to students
• Four lesson frameworks to help students uncover conceptual relationships
  How to assess conceptual understanding, and
• How to differentiate concept-based instruction
