Concept Based Teaching

Date: May 19, 2021 In a workshop recently run about Concept-based Teaching, Eryn Wiseman, together with 16 engaged and enthusiastic teachers and leaders explored concepts, planning and inquiry. The participants engaged in thinking routines, discussions and collaboration that resulted in a better understanding of all aspects involved in planning to incorporate concepts and inquiry into their lessons. Some of the main takeaways were a better understanding of concepts and where they belong in a curriculum, the power of using questions and how assessment can be used at every stage of a unit. Sharing snapshots of participants’ feedback.

A very engaging workshop conducted by Eryn Wiseman. She took us through the importance of concept based inquiry step by step. This helped me understand about backward planning and designing which was something new to me. She helped us improvising our quality of questions that ignite curiosity amongst young learners. The workshop comprised a lot of collaboration and sharing our practices. Overall very meaningful and relevant in the current scenario of teaching learning process. Thank you once again for this lovely opportunity. Hope to being a part of your next workshop.
