Bridging from Instrumental Enrichment to School Curriculums

This session focuses on the principles of “bridging” from IE program to school material. The initial point for “bridging” is an IE task from which a cognitive principle is derived. Then this cognitive principle becomes a basis for developing activities relevant to a one or another of curricular areas. In this way IE program via generalized cognitive principles becomes connected to cognitive aspects of curricular learning. A number of examples from the area of reading and mathematics illustrate the mechanism of “bridging”.
