WHY YOU SHOULD USE GRAPHIC ORGANISERS
Organised thinking is the essential ingredient for successful learning. And Graphic Organisers are the best and simplest instruments to help you achieve this.
Graphic Organisers allow thoughts to be extracted from your head and placed in front of you. Where you can see and work with them. We call this learning — successful learning.
Of course you can do this all in your head. But it's much easier when everything is visible in front of you instead of being hidden from view.
But it's all too easy to use them superficially. To use them effectively you need an understanding of why we use them, when to use them and how to use them. And that’s where Model Learning comes in.
We teach you how to use Graphic Organisers systematically and apply them pervasively so your students will be more effective at:
- Creating new ideas
- Understanding and managing information
- Analysis and reason
- Assessment and control of your thinking
- Planning for writing and communicating
- Explanation and communication
- Improving short and long term memory
