Empower your students

This introductory mini-course includes 10 short, powerful lessons to help you bring conceptual learning and transfer to your classroom. It is designed as a general introduction for those who are relatively new to conceptual learning or transfer. There are plenty of examples across a range of areas, but we also recommend one of our other micro-courses that are discipline-specific or age of student specific if that is what you are after. 

The course is completely asynchronous and designed to be completed during teacher planning or PLC times. We recommend about 2 hours to both complete the videos and apply the ideas to your setting. 

Grab your colleagues and enroll together for powerful learning that teaches students how to recognize the deeper structural patterns of every situation.

Each participant will design a short portfolio of classroom strategies for practical application to your setting. 

*Price is per person. Access includes one year from purchase date. Discounts for 10 or more from the same school. Email [email protected] with questions.
