4MAT VISUAL EXPLORER:  EDUCATORS EDITION 

“The concept of literacy is not limited to things said; it extends to things represented. We need a wider ‘conception of mind’ in our classrooms; one where the role of vision to conception and imagination is understood, and where teachers use…sensory images to help their students form concepts.”

–Elliot Eisner

“Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.”

–Pablo Picasso

“The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless.”

–Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Explore the many elements of 4MAT with these interactive and dynamic training tools from About  Learning.

The 4MAT Blocks include descriptions of the four major learning types along with guidelines for stretching to develop a full range of learning skills. There are five blocks included in each set—one for each type and one added block to promote stretching.

Their innovative design allows them to be configured in a number of ways…

• to display your learning preferences from most to least
• to construct the 4MAT Learning Model, a tool for creating more dynamic learning
