Description

Using visual memory helps students build verbal skills. Research shows that 10% of information imparted verbally can usually be remembered. When paired with a visual, retention goes up to 65%. Mindsketching is a visual memory strategy that helps students build memory and verbal skills by using simple sketches. For students from low-income backgrounds, whose verbal skills are already below those of their peers, this is a powerful tool to help build skills in areas where they are weak or struggling.

In Closing the Achievement Gap for Students Raised in Poverty: Practicing Mindsketching, Dr. Joyce Juntune explains why this strategy is so effective for low-income students. Dr. Juntune provides many ways to use this strategy in connection with content already being used in the classroom, such as in reading exercises and writing exercises, and in groups.

In this 1-hour course, teachers will learn:

  • The difference between mindsketching and drawing
  • How to build verbal intelligence through mindsketching

    Excited to use Mind Sketching Activities with my students.

  2. D – DALLAS ISD (verified owner) –

    This was fantastic! I loved the sketching/verbal activities and plan to tell parents about the “Four things learned” assignment.

  3. Melinda – DALLAS ISD (verified owner) –

    This course was outstanding. After more than 40 years of teaching, rarely do I learn something in a course that is completely new to me and I can see how powerful it is. This course is going to change the way I teach geometry.

  4. Matthew – DALLAS ISD (verified owner) –

    Tis great

  5. Cheryl – DALLAS ISD (verified owner) –

    The course was informative and mind altering.

  6. Eva – DONNA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –

    I like the examples how to practice with students.

  7. Megan – DALLAS ISD (verified owner) –

    This is like mind mapping but without the connections.

  8. Tresa – DALLAS ISD (verified owner) –

    Relates to any subject taught

  9. Ana – DALLAS ISD (verified owner) –

    Mindsketching is a great teaching technique, and a powerful tool for our students. I always thought visuals are important, but it is more than having images on worksheets. In this training I learned how to use mindsketching in listening, reading, writing, and speaking.

  10. Shannon – DALLAS ISD (verified owner) –

    I really enjoyed the presentation and could definitely see the benefit of this in most classes & content areas. I would have liked some more examples involving math, particularly secondary where we involve more formulas and algorithms.
