A lesson without a graphic organizer is never as effective as a lesson with one. Strong statement? Yes. True? Also yes. When we teach, we want students to understand new concepts and skills and remember what they have learned for a long time. Learning is a combination of the storage of information and the ability to retrieve information when needed. That is why a graphic organizer is such a critical instructional strategy.

You may be thinking I already know about graphic organizers or may be wondering why we are still writing about graphic organizers. They are old news. The use of graphic organizers within a lesson or classroom has never been more critical than now. It is vital that you don’t stop at just knowing about graphic organizers but that the implementation and use of them are at the highest end of the impact continuum. The average effect size of using graphic organizers is .65, well above the .4 baseline. Read on and evaluate your individual or school implementation of graphic organizers.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
