2014 Outstanding Academic Title, Choice“What’s going on in this picture?”With this one question and a carefully chosen work of art, teachers can start their students down a path toward deeper learning and other skills now encouraged by the Common Core State Standards. The Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) teaching method has been successfully implemented in schools, districts, and cultural institutions nationwide, including bilingual schools in California, West Orange Public Schools in New Jersey, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.It provides for open-ended yet highly structured discussions of visual art, and significantly increases students’ critical thinking, language, and literacy skills along the way.Philip Yenawine, former education director of New York’s Museum of Modern Art and cocreator of the VTS curriculum, writes engagingly about his years of experience with elementary school students in the classroom. He reveals how VTS was developed and demonstrates how teachers are using art—as well as poems, primary documents, and other visual artifacts—to increase a variety of skills, including writing, listening, and speaking, across a range of subjects.The book shows how VTS can be easily and effectively integrated into elementary classroom lessons in just ten hours of a school year to create learner-centered environments where students at all levels are involved in rich, absorbing discussions.“You don’t have to convince me of the power art has to open the mind to new ways of seeing and thinking. I’m sold on Visual Thinking Strategies. This insightful book unpacks a technique that transforms classrooms into engaging, exciting laboratories for the critical thinking and communication skills our children need to master.” — Daniel Pink, author of To Sell Is Human and A Whole New Mind

More importantly it will describe the underpinnings of how to engage your students in critical thinking. This is so important to cultivate as a teacher in today's classroom. Using the Visual Thinking Strategies across the curriculum and getting real results in today's rigorous assessments provides powerful proof that this method has validity. This also addresses many of the Common Core Standards in ELA and Math. Marion Bageant, National Board Certified Teacher, Early Childhood Generalist. Second Grade Teacher, Spokane, WA

By Wendy Lukehart To read Visual Thinking Strategies is to enter into a companionable and substantive conversation with a master teacher who has spent a lifetime noticing and caring about how children learn. Yenawine's passion for nurturing growth across a variety of disciplines by tapping into young people's innate responsiveness to art is supported with research and a wealth of examples; his vision and method offer a provocative model for inspiring curiosity, motivation, critical thinking, and civil discourse in centers of formal and informal learning. Those grappling with the Common Core Standards will find Yenawine's ideas timely; in fact, they are timeless.--Wendy Lukehart, Youth Collections Coordinator, District of Columbia Public Library

Intriguing and helpful By Henna I am going through VTS (Visual Thinking Strategies) training and this book helps understand the background of the program. It also explains how VTS can be used with other subjects and how it helps develop student's critical thinking across the disciplines.
