EXHIBITOR SESSION: THINKING MAPS
Personalized learning requires that students are empowered to THINK independently and quickly “move” from one thought process to another.  This session will walk you through why it’s important to have visual representations for our thought processes and how using this “language for learning” will lead to deeper connections, a strong personalized learning environment, and greater student independence. Students and staff learn how to collaborate, communicate, think critically, and creatively respond to the demands placed on today’s students and tomorrow’s leaders.  

Attendess will see how a systemic approach to THINKING will unlock to door to personalized learning, more rigorous instruction, and cross-curricular literacy.
