This year will be a heavy travel year with presentations around our country and in different locations in the world. A friend is traveling with me to the Netherlands and Austria and we are going to take in 3 days in Paris–my first trip there.

I am encouraged as I see different states realizing that state standards must provide a “conceptual framework” rather than a detailed list of content based objectives. Iowa is a state that has made a strong commitment to concept-based curriculum and instruction. They are a state to watch! They sent 20 participants from around the state (Area Education Agency Consultants) and a principal to last summer’s Certification Institute in Montana. On August 2, 2011, I am training over 300 principals and teachers in Iowa on C-based Unit Design to support their state standards. I also trained over 200 Iowa principals in June. The state is getting fired up and ready to roll! Other states are also working toward concept-based models for state standards.

I added a page regarding the Concept-based Certification Institute held each July in Whitefish, Montana. Take a look and contact me for more information. Click on Summer Institute in the bar near the top of this page.

64 Letters of Invitation for the July 2012 Institute have been e-mailed to people requesting information! I look forward to certifying many people to train on conceptual teaching and learning. Engaging the conceptual mind is the only way to truly raise standards and develop the intellect.
