CATCA 2025

This session will explore unit planning based on increased complexity as a way to differentiate learning. Teachers plan units in a linear fashion but what if we taught concepts at a basic level and throughout the unit, increased the complexity? This way, all students could access the learning in their zone of proximal development. Complexity-based instruction can also be a strategy to address the impact of absences on student learning.

In this session, we will look at the concept of Complexity-Based Planning, analyze examples in various subjects and grade levels and have time to develop your own unit of planning and assessments.
