“The more we use nonlinguistic representations while learning, the better we can think about and recall our knowledge.” – Robert J. Marzano, et al.

This project, Visual Literacy Tools, will train teachers to use instructional strategies with nonlinguistic representations, using technology as an integral tool to create the visual representations and graphic organizers.

Additional support for participants available through arranged in-school visits, or group trainings at ESU #15.
