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. |

“Focusing on what students know, instead of on what they do not know, is one of the fundamental principles of learning. CGI teachers learn to listen to the details in their students’ thinking and pose questions that build upon that reasoning, resulting in their students enjoying learning mathematics and the teachers enjoying teaching it!”
