View CourseWhat is Event-Based Teaching?
Since its emergence from the Essential For Living (EFL) framework, Event-Based Teaching (EBT) has extended EFL's quality-of-life orientation by organizing instruction around meaningful, naturally occurring events rather than isolated skills or academic sequences. Grounded in the same evidence-based teaching and measurement principles that define EFL, EBT provides practitioners with a practical system for identifying teachable moments, embedding instruction into daily routines, and evaluating progress based on functional outcomes that matter to the individual.
Within the Essential for Living Practitioner's Handbook, readers will find that both authors Dr. Patrick McGreevy and Troy Fry recommend that teaching essential skills occurs within events.
The Journey to Event-Based Teaching
About ten years ago, Kristina Montgomery and Emily Beal Wilkinson began their journey to bring events to the classrooms they worked in, within their special education setting. They began with creating spaces in their classrooms to practice skills in context and continually problem solved and experimented until they arrived where they are today.
If you have felt stuck in your practice, wondering how to help learners acquire meaningful skills they will need for the rest of their lives, without frustrating them, this course is for you. If you have a self-contained classroom with complex learners who span a spectrum of skills, this course will help you understand how to create groups with learner profiles to advance skills at the pace of the students, all the while considering their happiness indicators and their Quality of Life.
