Teachers.
A professional training for using Concept Mapping as a tool for meaningful learning and helping students learn how to learn.
A unique opportunity to meet Professor Joseph Novak of Cornell University- the creator of Concept Maps and the author of the theory of Meaningful Learning - and his followers who are using Concept Maps in everyday classroom environment (as well as gain some re-certification hours).

Research proves that using Concept Maps facilitates critical thinking, deepens understanding and assists learners in developing a self appraisal of their own thinking process.
