I’m truly amazed at how teachers who claim expertise at CI have tried to market it as a way to teach a set curriculum out of a textbook. Virtually every trainer out there does that.
Of course, the teacher who doesn’t appreciate the depth and breadth of the real research, and who is saddled with teaching out of the book, welcomes such a notion.
However, CI cannot be combined with the textbook. CI can only work when it is non-targeted and fully divorced from any form of set curriculum. What does this mean?
It means there is a MASSIVE amount of misinformation being spread around out there and the result has been CI that is so watered down that it isn’t even CI.
That’s right. The CI being used in classrooms out there is largely a new version that is designed to sell products. The negative effect that this is having on well-meaning teachers is immeasurable.
