Watch VTS in action!
VTS is a remarkable professional development program for teachers and a powerful, student-centered curriculum for students using visual images to foster students’ capacities to observe, think, listen, and communicate. VTS asks students to: look carefully at works of art, talk about what they observe, back up their ideas with evidence, listen to and consider the views of others, and discuss many possible interpretations in a respectful manner. The program promotes cultural and educational equity and provides teachers with a powerful tool to close the achievement gap.
