Spatial Resources for the Classroom

The “Developing Spatial Thinking” curriculum consists of instructional software and ten workbooks with sketching exercises.  The spatial material for each topic is typically reviewed in a 1½ hour lab session, covering all ten topics over the course of 10 weeks. Sessions start with a 10-15 minute mini-lecture (slide deck or recorded video) after which students work through an instructional software module for each topic in teams of two. Students complete sketching exercises in workbook pages for the remainder of the time.

The “Developing Spatial Thinking” curriculum is appropriate for secondary school students. Dr. Sorby can coach spatial teachers remotely or in a workshop setting.

Implement spatial training to improve your students’ STEM success.

  • Mini-lecture presentations

    Instructors can use brief, ready-to-use presentations to introduce topics to students at the start of each lab session. Students can scroll through mini-lecture slides or watch the narrated mini-lectures to help them apply each technique as they work through sketching exercises.
