 On Sunday 15th June at 17:00 on Zoom TESOL MACEDONIA-THRACE, Northern Greece is happy and extremely honored  to be hosting IATEFL Vice President 
Ms Aleksandra Popovski!     
The title of the session is Visual Thinking and Multimodality. 
      
The speaker wrote about the session: 
Visible Thinking, developed by Project Zero, is a flexible and systematic research-based conceptual framework designed to integrate students' cognitive development with content learning across various subject areas. By making thinking visible through structured routines, this approach encourages deeper engagement, critical reflection, and meaningful knowledge construction. In the webinar, participants will engage in hands-on activities and practical demonstrations of Thinking Routines with multimodal texts, gaining actionable strategies to implement in their own classrooms.
