  1. Anatomy of aGraphic Organizer The power of graphic organizers comes from the nature and types of cues they provide

  2. Organizational cues Semantic cues Anatomy of aGraphic Organizer Phenomena cues Strategy cues

  3. Hierarchic Compare / Contrast to view samples, click on each type of organization Sequence Cause / Effect Anatomy of aGraphic Organizer Organizational cues Semantic cues visually shows info structure Phenomena cues Strategy cues

  4. Structural Cues Generative characteristics of an idea to view samples, click on each type of semantic cue Generative “BIG” ideas Perspectives on an idea Topic-specific critical understandings Anatomy of aGraphic Organizer Person Group Place Issue Event Policy War Theory Process Belief Problem Invention Thing Organizational cues Semantic cues visually shows info structure focuses on meaning Phenomena cues Strategy cues

  5. to view samples, click on each type of phenomena Anatomy of aGraphic Organizer Chaos/control Data bending Problem solving Tension / Reaction Yin*Yang Risk Taking Organizational cues Semantic cues visually shows info structure focuses on meaning Phenomena cues Strategy cues visually shows patterns of phenomena

  8. EXAMPLE Big Ideas about Graphic Organizers 1. Very strong research-basis for: ACADEMICS Vocabulary Reading Writing Content Math THINKING Critical Analytical Metacognition / Strategic INFORMATION PROCESSING Find relevant info Make sense of info Relational understanding and memory of info Communicate info

  9. EXAMPLE EXAMPLE Big Ideas about Graphic Organizers 2. Fosters “watering-up” the curriculum – -content is more learnable, so info can be taught at more complex levels • Makes the organization of information self-evident to learner Provides an array of visual & semantic cues that help the learner focus on what is important • Focuses on relational understanding, big ideas, & real-world connections • Maximizes student-elaboration of essential-to-understand information

  10. EXAMPLE Big Ideas about Graphic Organizers 3. Requires scaffolding Scaffolded assistance • I do it • We do it • Y’all do it • You do it Scaffolding complexity of the graphic organizer • simpleto complex

  11. EXAMPLE EXAMPLE Big Ideas about Graphic Organizers 4. Highly conducive to implementing critical teaching behaviors for student engagement Knowledge activation & anticipation Frequency of correct responses Explicit /Directive  Implicit/Constructive Quality student-directed learning experiences aligned with state curriculum standards Reflective reviews

  12. EXAMPLE Big Ideas about Graphic Organizers 5. Facilitates “standards-based” instruction & assessment Planning instruction around state curriculum content standards Assessing students relational understanding of content standards

  13. Big Ideas about Graphic Organizers 6. Highly conducive to innovation Integrating curriculum Block-scheduling Project-based, Problem-based, and Service-oriented learning Differentiating instruction in ways that really count

  14. Big Ideas about Graphic Organizers 7. Impact is NOT a function of whether a student is a “visual learner” Notion of visual vs. auditory vs. kinesthetic learner is a GROSS over-simplification of the learning process Student success using GOs is more a function of: • Previous exposure to GOs • Quality of teacher-scaffolding • Complexity of subject-matter vs. student’s background knowledge of subject-matter • Teacher’s commitment to use GOs

  15. EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE Big Ideas about Graphic Organizers 8. Implementation is not automatic GOs are initiative for some, not at all for others Requires … * Leader support Fosters faculty ownership & commitment paired with explicit expectation Creates time (and tenaciously protects) so teachers can collaboratively plan and peer-support Reinforcement (formal & informal) * Long-range view * Strategic implementation plans * Coaching * Data-based feedback on (1) student outcomes and (2) quality of implementation
