SynopsisAn elementary book for teachers, helping them to learn why conceptual learning is a natural fit for young minds, strategies for introducing children to conceptual learning, instructional strategies to help students uncover and transfer concepts, and much, much more., Teaching overly-factual content to young students is misguided: it is developmentally inappropriate, and ignores what we know about how children naturally learn. We can and should view all children as thinking beings, creating ideal environments for them to make sense of the world while being very careful to protect their inherent love of learning. This book teaches a concept-based curriculum in a way that respects the developmental stages of childhood with intellectual rigour. Infants rapidly develop their understanding of concepts such as hot and cold, happy and sad, in and out, and at three years old, they begin their characteristic, persistent questioning: "Why? Why? Why?" By following this natural tendency, the book's approach cultivates their conceptual understanding in a gentle manner that honours their innate curiosity., Harness natural curiosity for conceptual understanding! Young children are naturally curious, asking deep questions about complex concepts. This tendency is a talent that can be nurtured so that children grow to be deep thinkers and innovators later in life. However, in our complex world, it is impossible to teach students everything they need to know. Pushing more factual content ignores what we know about how children learn and endangers their love of learning. Concept-based teaching helps young learners uncover conceptual relationships in a way that is developmentally appropriate. Readers of this guide will learn: * Why conceptual learning is a natural fit for children * Strategies for introducing conceptual learning * Instructional strategies to help students uncover and transfer concepts * How to write lessons, assess understanding, and differentiate in a concept-based classroom * How concept-based teaching aligns with best practices and initiatives Written for educators who strive to cultivate conceptual understanding while honoring students' innate curiosity, this is a must-have road map for implementing concept-based teaching in elementary classrooms. "This book provides the research and resources educators need to help students take ownership of their learning. It fosters students' curiosity about their environment and it allows them to explore and become life-long learners." Ellen Asregadoo, Fifth Grade Teacher Public School 190, Brooklyn, NY "This is an important book for all teachers.

Sarah Gat, Second Grade Teacher Ecole Arbour Vista Public School, Guelph, Ontario, Harness natural curiosity for conceptual understanding! Nurture young learners' innate curiosity about the world and bring intellectual rigor throughout the developmental stages of childhood.
