Student Engagement

Imagine your students:

  • experiencing pivotal events of the Civil War from a variety of perspectives
  • feeling the pain of the stock market crash during the Great Depression
  • taking a walking tour of Renaissance Florence to experience its beauty and discover the scientific advancements of the time

When you implement TCI in your classroom, students don’t just read textbooks and answer questions. They discover information for themselves. They feel the emotions of historical figures. They reason through historical problems. They debate contentious historical issues.

In TCI activities, students interact in pairs and groups so they are more engaged in their own learning. There are also opportunities for personal reflection and processing. Giving students a variety of ways to experience content helps them better retain and recall key information.

Most importantly, when students are engaged, they love learning. TCI helps make social studies your students’ favorite subject.
