Berkeley while also serving as an Exchange Scholar for two years at the Harvard School of Education under the supervision of
Dr David Perkins. David is an international leader in the field of thinking process development, literacy development, and
learner centred 21st century teaching, learning and assessment. David's ground-breaking book --"Visual Tools for
Constructing Knowledge" (ASCD, 1996)-- was distributed in the US and internationally to over 150,000 educators because of
its focus on the comprehensive, researched based practices for how teachers facilitate creativity, analytical thinking,
conceptual understanding and systems thinking using visual tools-- all with a focus student centred fluency for applying
thinking models to learning across disciplines. This book and multiple follow-up editions such as Visual Tools for Transforming
Information into Knowledge (Corwin Press), are the definitive texts for understanding how the visual brain and a full range of
models may be used to guide whole schools from rote teaching, learning and assessing in practical ways toward learner
centred thinking. David has always integrated the fields of cognitive-neuroscience, high quality collaborative teaching and
learning, connective leading, learning models, and assessment into the fabric of everyday classroom teaching, but with the
focus on whole school transformations. He may be best known as the developer of the Thinking Maps® model that has been
implemented around the world for 30 years using a dynamic, learner-centred whole-school change design. Presently, David is
Director/CEO of Thinking Schools International (TSI) a consulting group based in the US and working around the world to
share the comprehensive Thinking Schools approach to educational transformation in places such as Ethiopia, Norway,
Thailand, the UK, South Africa, China and Malaysia. For one example of the TSI work: Malaysia implemented the Thinking
Schools International approach and models as a foundation for their country-wide iTHINK program. Thinking Maps--
embedded with the TSI model--were introduced with Dr Art Costa's Habits of Mind design, starting with 10 whole school
model sites located as centers of excellence in key strategic areas around the country. This was followed by in depth Training
of 160 Malaysian Trainers, which was then supported across all 10,000 schools through an online programming approach in
order to service all schools, urban, rural and in remote areas. In the U.S., David is also Founding Director of Thinking
Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on research on thinking, leading and learning for those with the greatest need.
