Engage, challenge and support your English Language Learners (ELL/ELD) better through Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) discussions. RSVP for free info session on September 1st Event details - lnkd.in/eDnwTCJ9

@elonmusk If from a young age, every child inquired into rich visual imagery / art, learned to look and listen closely, consider multiple possibilities... we'd have more engineers, problem solvers, creators... that's what we're trying to make possible at scale: watershed-ed.org

Btw, critical feedback is always super appreciated, as well as ways to donate money that really make a difference (way harder than it seems)
