Course Description

This course will introduce the key concepts of phenomena-driven instruction and give participants the knowledge they need to select effective phenomena for classroom use and design lessons and units driven by these phenomena. A variety of materials that increase participants’ knowledge of the theory and practice of using high-quality phenomena to drive instruction will be provided. We will dig into the why, what, and how of phenomena-driven instruction and learn how it creates a more equitable and accessible learning environment for all students. Throughout the course, there will be multiple opportunities for all teachers from K-12 to explore and experience phenomena-driven instruction and collaborate with colleagues to identify high-quality phenomena and problems, redesign a current lesson, and develop a new phenomena-driven unit. 


This hybrid course can be customized to meet your school or district schedule.

Typical Time Commitment:

  • 3 hours/week asynchronous work
  • Attend two 1-hour Zoom community of practice meetings
