VISUAL TOOLS

Organised thinking is the essential ingredient for successful learning. And visual tools are the best and simplest instruments to help you achieve this. Visual tools allow thoughts and thinking processes to be extracted from your head and placed in front of you where you can see them. When you can see them, you can work with them. And when you work with them change takes place. What do we call this change?

Learning.

Of course you can do this all in your head, but it is guaranteed to be easier when everything is visible in front of you, instead of being abstract and hidden.

Tools are created to make jobs easier and visual tools are no different. Visual tools are the most effective tools available for jobs of the head.

Its easy to use visual tools superficially but to use them effectively requires an understanding of why we use them, when to use them and obviously how to use them. And that’s where Model Learning comes in. We are the country’s leading experts on the use of visual tools.

It is our wide knowledge, world class training and systematic approach that make us different to all other organizations and what fundamentally makes our methods so effective.

Having worked with us, when used systematically and pervasively visual tools guarantee your increasing effectiveness 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

However this only scratches the surface of the enormous breadth of possible benefits and positive outcomes that can be achieved. The almost generic nature of our work, focusing on thinking and the thinking process means that, using visual tools effectively can impact every aspect of your work and personal life. We get to the absolute core of what learning is about. And for this reason visual tools are appropriate for all learners, irrespective of age, ability, culture or learning style.

But most significantly, you should use visual tools because global evidence proves that using visual tools is the most effective strategy, bar none, for raising attainment. Meta studies have shown conclusively that standards are inevitably raised when visual tools are used systematically and pervasively in classrooms.
