Revisit, Reinforce, and Rise
Jerome Bruner’s Spiral Curriculum is based on the idea that learners grasp complex ideas more effectively when they revisit them over time, each time at a deeper level. It’s a powerful strategy for building mastery and long-term retention.
Key Concepts
- Repetition with increasing complexity
- Scaffolding
- Conceptual layering
Why it Matters
It supports adult learners who need to build on prior knowledge and revisit concepts in new contexts.
How to Use It
- Design learning paths that revisit key ideas
- Increase complexity with each cycle
- Connect new learning to previous experiences
