Thinking Maps is a set of 8 visual patterns that correlate to specific cognitive processes. Based on the building blocks of brain-based learning, they are used
across all grades and content areas to build critical thinking, problem-solving, comprehension, and communication skills necessary for academic success in every domain. Participants who register for this training will sign up for a three day cohort during
the 2023-2024 school year. Day 1 will introduce participants to the basics of Thinking Maps implementation. Days 2 and 3 are designed to help teachers move “beyond the basics” by building on their base of knowledge from utilizing Thinking Maps in their classrooms.
Participants in this cohort will receive a FREE, physical copy of Thinking Maps: A Language for Learning, 2nd Ed. Teacher’s Guide.
