What does CFC mean in UNIVERSITIES

CFC stands for Contexts For Classics, an educational initiative that works to make classical literature more accessible for today's students by offering alternative curricula and text analyses that are age-appropriate but remain faithful to traditional interpretations of the original works.

CFC is beneficial to both students and teachers in grades 6-12 classrooms. Students benefit from an opportunity to connect with classic texts through examinations of current contexts, while teachers receive support in implementing relevant approaches to teaching classics in the modern classroom.

CFC focuses on a constructivist approach when it comes to curriculum design. This means that instruction is designed around engaging activities, such as class debates and discussion groups, instead of simply lecture-style lectures. Additionally, assignments are tailored around student interests and learning styles, making them much more enjoyable than traditional assignments given in a typical classroom setting.

In addition to offering curriculum guidance and text analysis tools, CFC also provides access to electronic versions of classic texts, study guides for exams and quizzes, online group discussions about published works, audio material related to the texts being studied, and digital projects such as videos or posters.

No — all of the resources offered through CFC are free! There is no charge associated with using any of their materials or participating in any of their activities.
