Imagine Cognition using Intentional Visualization (2nd Edition) was redesigned to better facilitate a clear understanding of the power and value of visualization as a strategy, a skill, and an approach for education. Are you satisfied with your students' engagement, class involvement, and learning? Standards are "what" students should learn. We can now reimagine "how" to use thinking to advance learning. This book increases recognition, understanding, and application of cognitive skills for teachers and students. An imaging approach promotes an awareness of personal imagery, and the imagery of others to create a positive learning environment, engaging students and enhancing social emotional development. Educators often begin by expanding their use of imaging by integrating it into common classroom practices. Research, observations, and analysis of students’ cognitive struggles during learning performances helped identify Visualization Concepts, a framework to advance understanding and use of imaging for learning. These Visualization Concepts, infused while teaching subject standards, link to explicit goals for readers, writers, content area students, early learners, and social emotional development. Classroom discussions provide a window into personal connections, not only to what a student knows but to who he/she is as a person. This text shares authentic testimony from various stakeholders, connecting their feedback to current research. It offers an opportunity for educators to reflect and evaluate their personal understanding and use of visualization. Tools for student assessment, lesson design, and responsive instruction are interwoven within the text and shared in the appendix. There are three main sections of the text: Discovery, Implementation, and Results. The Discovery Section explains the history, research, and systematic development of this strategy. It identifies various questions that were pursued to advance understanding and use of visualization. The Implementation Section offers a clear understanding of the Visualization Concepts. Learning experiences are provided throughout this text for each goal linked to targeted subject areas. The Results Section reveals both quantitative, measurable assessment data, and qualitative, testimonies and descriptions of teacher and student progress. Intentional Visualization is a “minds-on” strategy that improves cognition for students at all grade levels and in all subject areas. It is a skill that can be improved when taught and practiced. Ultimately, this book is intended to change each educator’s and each student’s mindset and responseto learning. This innovative approach helps educators “get into students’ heads" helping them to appropriately respond to individual learning needs. Learning and innovation skills are being recognized as the abilities that prepare students for success in the 21st Century. These skills include creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration. Each of these skills are influenced by the ability of a learner to effectively visualize. Today’s students may have careers not invented yet. However, we do know that experts in their chosen fields successfully visualize details within their professions. Therefore, if we teach students "how" to apply visualization within the learning process, students can choose to use visualization to increase their knowledge and abilities within any discipline they pursue.
