Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visual Thinking Strategies for Preschool shows how teachers can add visual thinking strategies (VTS) to their existing curriculum to encourage language, critical thinking, and social skills for children ages three to five. In this sequel to his popular book, Visual Thinking Strategies, author Philip Yenawine describes using art and other visual experiences to create powerful learner-centered environments for young children just beginning their formal school experience. Drawing on interviews with preschool teachers from public, private, and charter schools from around the country, Yenawine highlights the benefits of these discussions for students, including English language learners and students with special needs. "VTS masterfully encourages children to see, think, speak, and analyze--enhancing vocabulary and fostering creative thinking. Philip Yenawine provides a step-by-step guide on how to implement VTS in a classroom with young children, while providing an in-depth overview of the theory behind the method." --Keith Whitescarver, executive director, National Center for Montessori in the Public Sector "Visual Thinking Strategies for Preschool is a wonderful resource for early child educators! Drawing upon theorists from Piaget to Vygotsky, the methods of Montessori and Reggio Emilia, and the practices from early childhood classrooms across the country, Yenawine provides innovative strategies for creating environments rich in language and visual stimuli for teaching young children." --Martha Barry McKenna, university professor, director of Creativity Commons, Lesley University "One can learn much, with pleasure, from this book. Yenawine shows that children in preschool learn that images can be interpreted with simple strings of words which, as the children realize they are being listened to, become sentences describing their own interpretations, and thus their own stories." --Lella Gandini, US liaison for the dissemination of the Reggio Emilia Approach Philip Yenawine is a cofounder of Visual Understanding in Education, former director of education at the Museum of Modern Art, and a recipient of the National Art Education Association's Award for Distinguished Service.

Can we build and sustain truly excellent schools focused on the ambitious goal of human flourishing? And can we hold ourselves accountable to the children and families we serve in ways that harness data to advance that goal? The National Center for Montessori in the Public Sector says “yes”! The Montessori Assessment Playbook shows us how to do it. Organized around 33 discrete tools, the Playbook provides a clear and actionable scaffold for building an assessment protocol that captures compelling student outcomes, such as perseverance, compassion, and creativity, and that links those outcomes to the investments we make to classrooms and schools. Emphasizing both coherence and precision, the Montessori Assessment Playbook shows us how to develop and implement a comprehensive assessment framework focused on human flourishing and, just as important, why such a framework is urgently needed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What’s going on in this picture?" With this one question and a carefully chosen work of art, teachers can start their students down a path toward deeper learning and other skills now encouraged by the Common Core State Standards. The Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) teaching method has been successfully implemented in schools, districts, and cultural institutions nationwide, including bilingual schools in California, West Orange Public Schools in New Jersey, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. It provides for open-ended yet highly structured discussions of visual art, and significantly increases students’ critical thinking, language, and literacy skills along the way. Philip Yenawine, former education director of New York’s Museum of Modern Art and cocreator of the VTS curriculum, writes engagingly about his years of experience with elementary school students in the classroom. He reveals how VTS was developed and demonstrates how teachers are using art—as well as poems, primary documents, and other visual artifacts—to increase a variety of skills, including writing, listening, and speaking, across a range of subjects. The book shows how VTS can be easily and effectively integrated into elementary classroom lessons in just ten hours of a school year to create learner-centered environments where students at all levels are involved in rich, absorbing discussions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching reading successfully requires deep knowledge of the reading process and development, as well as the implementation of impactful reading instruction and differentiation. This book aligns Montessori didactic materials and pedagogy, developed over a century ago, with current research on reading development. Readers will gain a solid overview of the Montessori philosophy and method, specifically those related to reading and language development, enabling them to support their practice in todayÕs educational context while inspiring the wider field of education. The authors explain how the Montessori approach is inherently aligned with the Science of Reading in that they are both scientifically based and contain methods that follow a logical, systematic, and explicit progression of teaching and learning. Montessori education supports instructional differentiation that is cognizant of childrenÕs need for independence and highly mindful of literacy and language development. This book provides valuable contributions to all educators implementing Science of Reading and Structured Literacy in their practice, and is a must-have for Montessori teachers (preschool to grade 3) and those that prepare, coach, and supervise them. Book Features: Aligns the Montessori curriculum to reading research, currently known as the Science of Reading.Explains how the Montessori curriculum builds reading skills, background knowledge, and vocabulary across disciplines.Shows educators how to balance state requirements and standards with maintaining a pedagogy aligned with Montessori principles.Provides descriptions of teaching materials, classroom examples, and images.Demonstrates how to use Montessori methods to support multiculturalism and differentiation to meet the needs of diverse students.Includes suggested progressions of development, such as phonological awareness, that extend lessons using the Moveable Alphabet.Explores multisensory approaches to language and literacy instruction.

This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research indicates that 95% or more of children, including children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), think with a visual system: by making pictures, movies, and graphics in their minds. However, the vast majority of instruction in schools is provided using auditory - not visual - methods. This discrepancy between the way that most educators teach, and the way that children learn best, has led to a mismatch in our current school system. Despite the best intentions of educators to include individuals with learning differences, many children with autism are not making as much school progress as their neurotypical peers. Visual Thinking Strategies for Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders aims to flip the script: by encouraging adults to think not about what they can provide to neurodiverse children, but instead on what these children's brains need to thrive. To make such a radical shift in perspective, national expert on autism Dr. Ellyn Arwood advocates for parents, educators, and caregivers of neurodiverse children to think using a visual learning system in order to see the world through the eyes of these young and exceptional individuals. Alongside speech-language pathologist Carole Kaulitz and behavioral-learning consultant Mabel Brown, Dr. Arwood demonstrates how Viconic Language Methods¿ can open new doors of learning for children who have struggled in schools or other clinical settings. Join these educational specialists as they usher in the newest movement of brain-based, strength-based visual learning.
