Thinking Maps

PSD uses Thinking Maps as a visual tool for instruction and learning. Perhaps you’ve seen your child bring home drawings of maps or your child has talked about using “maps” at school. Do you wonder what exactly the Thinking Maps are intended for, how it’s used in school, and how you could use them at home?

In this video series, we share a breakdown of what each map is used for and how you could actually use these maps at home, during your daily routine! We also included an “introduction” to Thinking Maps, shared by our Thinking Maps consultant, Jillian Chaiken, videos of each Thinking Maps, narrated by our very own PSD Thinking Maps trainers and finally a video showing you the signs for each Thinking Map!
