Why Are Graphic Organizers
Important?
Do you know these 3 things
about America’s students?
#1
Sometime size does matter
Current Population
China - 1.3 billionIndia - 1.1 billionUSA - 300 million
If you’re one in a million in China…
There are 1,300 peoplejust like you
In India, there are 1,100
people just like you
The 25% of the population in China with the highest
IQs…
Is greater than the total population of
North America
In India, it’s the top 28%

They have more honors kids than we have kids

Why Are Graphic Organizers
Important?
Getting to the point
Do you know how to make a peanut butter
sandwich?
1. If you needed to save money in making the sandwich, what are some ways you could do it?
2. If you needed to save time in making the sandwich, what are some ways you could do it?
3. What if you were having a party and had to make 50 peanut butter sandwiches. Would you follow the same process? Why?
4. Suppose you were running a restaurant and had to decide how much to charge a customer for a peanut butter sandwich.
What’s the most effective way to figure this out?

Graphic Organizers
A tool
Not a crutch
Here comes the point!
The goal of using graphic
organizers is to develop
independent use by students.
Unless mastery of independent use
is achieved, graphic organizers
can become a crutch for the
student, rather than a tool.
The Goal of Graphic Organizers
Graphic Organizers
A tool
Not a crutch

(Another interlude)
That’s all very nice…But how does it help
ME?
This is what GOs help learners to do…
1. Plan approaches to a task
2. Organize a sequence of actions or series of data points
3. Hold action sequences in mind until executed
4. Inhibit actions irrelevant to the task at hand
continued
5. Decide what to attend to and what to do
6. Make shifts when needed
7. Monitor and evaluate one’s own actions
8. Adjust emotions in response to perceived success or failure
And to summarize…
GOs lead to more self-managed learning

Teacher provides instruction in the background or prerequisite content knowledge needed to use the graphic organizer strategy successfully
Teacher describes and discusses the graphic organizer strategy, its purpose, and benefits
Teacher demonstrates how to use the strategy correctly
Teacher supports, or scaffolds, student mastery of the strategy, with guided practice
Student implements the strategy, independently or in groups, with few or no supports
Teacher provides clear, prompt feedback on mastery of content and use of the graphic organizer
Student articulates what s/he has learned in terms of both content and use of the graphic organizer

A final few wordsof affirmation…
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” --Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love, 1996
