Course Summary

“Creativity is putting your imagination to work, and it’s produced the
most extraordinary results in human culture.” -Ken Robinson

Graphic organizers are useful educational tools that can be expensive to buy and confusing to create on your own. Teachers who complete this course will walk away with the skills to create a variety of graphic organizers and the knowledge to use them effectively in class. Teachers will also have new resources for exploring information on using graphic organizers in the classroom, and customized organizers for use with their own students. We believe all teachers: Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, Elementary, Middle, High School, Arts, Health, will have fun designing useful organizers while they earn 18 hours of professional development.
