I appreciate your opening quote about "a picture is worth ....". Visual models are such powerful teaching and learning tools. Just like the students in our classes need hands on models for math, they also need explicit models for building social skills. I appreciate that you point out that we as adults also need models for our learning. It's so true. Having the opportunity to watch and learn from other teachers is so important.
Yes, a picture is worth a thousand words
