COGNITIVELY GUIDED INSTRUCTION (CGI)
The central theme of CGI is that children come to school with mathematical knowledge. Children develop their math understanding by solving a variety of problems in a way that makes sense to them. The children build their own understanding and inform other children, and the teacher, as they share their thinking. As a result, children build connections and relationships among the mathematical ideas so that the math makes sense to them, and the math is meaningful in their lives.
IDEC provides targeted reading support for students in special education using a scientific approach to literacy intervention. Students with significant needs in the area of foundational reading skills (i.e. phonological awareness, word identification), are recommended to IDEC by their IEP team.
IDEC utilizes science proven principles for students with learning disabilities. Different combinations of reading programs that align to those principles are utilized with students, depending on their individual needs.
