Visual Learning and Teaching

An Essential Guide for Educators K-8

By: Susan Daniels

A comprehensive guide to visual learning strategies with easy-to-use activities. Emojis . . . avatars . . . icons . . . Our world is becoming increasingly reliant on visual communication. Yet our classrooms still heavily focus on traditional oral and written instruction. In this first-of-its-kind resource, Dr. Susan Daniels channels over twenty years of research and experience into a comprehensive guide of visual learning strategies that enable educators to rise to the challenges of 21st century education no matter what age range they serve within the K–8 population. This hands-on resource helps educators create a “visual toolbox” of tools that promote visual literacy across the curriculum, and it offers interactive activities to encourage visual learning and communication in all students via mind maps and visual journals. Drawing on her experience working with gifted, creative, and twice-exceptional children, Dr. Susan Daniels has created visual learning strategies that all children can benefit from. Digital content includes customizable forms and examples of completed forms as well as a PDF presentation for professional development.

Differentiated Lessons for Every Learner

Standards-Based Activities and Extensions for Middle School (Grades 6-8)

By: Dina Brulles,Karen L. Brown,Susan Winebrenner

Differentiated Lessons for Every Learner supports middle school teachers in teaching all students, including those with high ability. The book contains extension lessons in each content area with learning activities that align to the national content standards, embed ELA Common Core Standards, and correlate to DOK levels. The extension lessons provide for active learning tailored to address multiple learning levels. Using this semi-structured process ensures differentiated learning experiences that align to the standards while also respecting that students have different interests, different methods of learning, and most importantly, that they are learning at different challenge levels. The time is now upon us to emphasize interdisciplinary learning experiences that provide real-world connections and engage students in relevant and meaningful learning. We have long known that while critical for gifted and talented students, these higher level thinking strategies benefit all students. Foreword by Karin Hess, Ed.D. Grades 6-8
