Field Trips
Community Based Instruction (CBI) is designed for students that need intensive instruction in functional and daily living skills. CBI is educational instruction in naturally occurring community environments providing students “real life experiences”. The goal is to provide a variety of hands-on learning opportunities at all age levels to help students acquire the skills to live in the world today.
Community is defined as the school, home, and city community environments in the location the student lives. Students with cognitive challenges have difficulty generalizing or transferring information. When instruction is conducted with the actual materials in the natural environment where a functional skill is expected to be performed or the activity would occur, students’ progress at a greater rate. CBI provides natural opportunities for living skills practice that is meaningful to students. Concepts and skills that are introduced in the classroom are applied and practiced in natural environments in the community using CBI. The experiences allow students to see, hear, smell, and do things in real life settings as opposed to simulated or artificial settings that are very abstract. Doing things in the natural environment is concrete, reinforcing, and assists in providing educational relevancy for the student.
