Learning Leads to a Lifetime of Opportunity

• The effectiveness of graphic organizers has been studied. • One study focused on three classifications of secondary students enrolled in content area classes:

• students with learning disabilities• remedial students • students in regular education

• The results of three separate experiments indicated that graphic organizers, whether teacher-directed, student-directed with text references, or student-directed with clues, produced significantly higher performance than self-study for each group of students.

•Time to show off your work with a museum walk!

• Students should be able to use metacognition to determine when they don’t know or understand a concept or idea and what to do to help themselves internalize the new knowledge.

• Through learning various types of graphic organizers, students are able to have a “fix it” strategy to assist in clarifying their own thinking.

• Teachers may expose students to additional graphic organizers.

– examples shown are only some

• Teachers can think “outside of the box” when choosing graphic organizers.

- The more a student connects with a graphic organizer, the easier it will be for them to internalize the information.

Keep up the fabulous work!
