Thinking Maps
What are Thinking Maps & how do they work?
Thinking Maps, developed by Dr. David Hyerle, are visual teaching tools that foster and encourage lifelong learning. They are based on a simple yet profound insight: The one common instructional thread that binds together all teachers, from pre-kindergarten through postgraduate, is that they all teach the same thought processes.
Based on thorough and well-accepted academic study and brain research, the eight Thinking Map tools correspond with eight fundamental thinking processes. More than simple task-specific graphic organizers, Thinking Maps can be utilized individually or in various combinations to form a Common Visual Language for students and teachers at all grade levels, in all subjects.
