CGI

 

Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) professional development enhances teacher's ability to teach math with the understanding through a focus on students' mathematical thinking.  CGI teachers start with what students know and build on their intuitive problem-solving processes so that each and every student grows into their understanding of rigorous math concepts.  Research shows that CGI increases: students' math achievement, students' problem-solving experiences and teachers' math knowledge.
