Learning Visual Thinking Strategies

Aperture’s teaching artists use Visual Thinking Strategies as a resource for engaging students in the classroom. In every lesson, students are encouraged to talk about photographs through an open inquiry process, which in turn encourages open dialogue among students while the teacher guides the discussion. In this video Alice Proujansky, Aperture’s Education Partnerships Coordinator, speaks about how to implement visual thinking strategies in the classroom.

Thanks for the great demo of VTS! And in response other people’s comments, I heard everything clearly with headphones on. Didn’t even notice the music.

Quick observation ... at 1.46, the facilitator/teacher said "interesting" which I would regard as positive feedback: this is not the role of facilitator here. Instead, according to the principles of VTS, the facilitator must remain completely neutral and not offer any feedback, good, bad or indifferent.

I want to ask. Is VTS a curriculum or not?

I'm really confused. because some people say that VTS is a curriculum and others say it as a teaching method.

Can you explain. Please!
