Every August I visit my my units again. I look them over and revise, edit, and reuse. I guess teaching concepts versus content makes this process more tedious. I began teaching through content and was introduced to concept based instruction without even knowing I was learning it. I was involved in the Middle Years Program of the International Baccalaureate program. I had my Aha moment about two years later, while developing thematic units for world history. The idea of teaching concepts versus a timeline seemed too simple. I thought to myself, "why isn't every one teaching this way, it just make sense!" As I dig deeper into concept based instruction and am considering merging this topic with technology for my masters thesis, I find it all consuming. I see another way to teach a topic. It's like turning a new page in a thrilling book. My mantra is "If I teach the concept through the best context, then I get the content for free!" I live this in my classroom. Yes, it is more at the beginning, but I get results....even on the state testing ....100% pass rate!
