We founded Watershed Collaborative to address a tangible problem that beset us for more than two decades. Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) had proven to be a highly-effective pedagogy, K-12 curriculum, and professional development program. Yet VTS remained out of reach for most educators. This meant that too few young people - and teachers - benefited from the profound impact VTS can have on learning. Our mission is to make VTS possible in any classroom in the US and abroad. To do so, we offer a highly-accessible and affordable portfolio of products and services designed for professional learning and instruction in 21st century classrooms.
