Accdelerated Learning Out Think

Anyone who has attended law school knows that it invokes an important intellectual transformation, frequently referred to as "learning to think like a lawyer".

This volume examines how spatial thinking might be incorporated into existing standards-based instruction across the school curriculum. A geographic information system (GIS) offers one example of a high-technology support system that can enable students and teachers to practice and apply spatial thinking in many areas of the curriculum.
