Thinking with Your Eyes

Join us and explore the second in our series of 10 sequential concepts, thinking with your eyes! (Please allow your students to spend time with the first concept thoughts and feelings before moving on to this second concept.) In the second webinar, Social Thinking founder Michelle Garcia Winner provides examples of how to teach thinking with your eyes across age groups, all the way into adulthood, and shares which Social Thinking products offer lessons and activities to expand your teaching of this concept. She also explores how digital devices may stifle the development of social competencies and how to motivate students to use their social attention when in the presence of others. Note: Thinking with your eyes is not the same as “eye contact.”

After watching this webinar, infuse your teaching with the concept of thinking with your eyes over the next month to help your students understand it deeply and meaningfully (avoid memorization). Tune in to the third webinar to learn how to build on this concept with best practices for teaching how to read the group plan!

The 10 Concepts Webinar Series

This webinar is part of a series that shares best practices for teaching 10 core concepts from the Social Thinking Methodology. Strengthen your students’ social-emotional learning by infusing your teaching with these concepts over the course of the school year. Each concept should be taught slowly for one month or longer—it takes time for students to deeply understand the ideas and begin using them in their lives. We recommend learning about (and teaching) the concepts in order as they build on one another. View all the webinars in the 10 Concepts series within our larger webinar library.
