What is Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI)?

Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) is a research base and professional development program. In CGI, children’s thinking, rather than a curriculum, provides the basis for instructional decisions.

The goal for students is to develop rich informal mathematical thinking and innate problem solving abilities. Teachers learn how mathematical thinking develops and how to guide children toward deeper, more sophisticated levels of understanding.

The CGI Professional Development Collaborative at SDSU offers CGI courses to teachers in the San Diego community.
