CGI Mathematics Training  

Wiki Page

Cognitively Guided Instruction or CGI Training is a K-5 professional development program in which teachers learn to assess children's mathematical thinking and to use what they know about children's thinking during instruction.

It is based on twenty years of research from the University of Wisconsin and has been found to raise student achievement for all population groups. This program is effective in helping teachers identifiy student thinking and assigning problems that are developmentally appropriate.
