UNILATERAL RULES
CONTROL CLASSROOM RESULTS.
Keep reading and you will understand why.

This idealistic, accountable system
was designed by Carl Peterson.

Peterson has been directing schools
and writing about schools since 1964.

Peterson has also been manufacturing printing,
frosting mixes, buildings, computers,
and other products since 1940.

Peterson thinks that his schools
should also meet high quality control standards.

WINNING SYSTEMS REALLY WORK

WINNING SYSTEMS ARE UNILATERAL RULES

PETERSON’S THINK TANKS

Peterson’s Think Tanks
are held every two weeks.

The medical think tanks
are conducted
at a very
senior level.

Think Tank rules
allow the group
to cut to the heart
of the information
available.

Personal opinions
are not allowed
to stop the sharing
of information
and opinions.

A controlled sharing
of important viewpoints.

The teamwork
of the participants
produces
practical viewpoints
that some cam agree pm.
--------------------

YOUR MIND IS INCREDIBLE

A perspective:
Today's fastest computers
are not able to accomplish
the abilities of the mind.

Your mind instantly
recognizes
stores
retrieves
sorts
uses
information in milliseconds.

Memory pictures are designed
to capitalize on the mind's
everyday capabilities.

The thinking tasks it speeds up
are not serious challenges
to the incredibly capable mind.

Here are some more examples:

After the introductory title
the mind starts making decisions
about the content
of the next pictures.
--------------------

VISUALLY ASSISTING THE MIND
IN THE THINKING PROCESS

ABSORB OR CREATE
MORE ACCURATE THOUGHTS
IN LESS TIME

RESULT

Effective arrangement of
pictures for:

understanding
retention
retrieval of material.

VIEW MULTIPLE PICTURES
RATHER THAN ONE SLOW PICTURE

QUESTIONS

Q.
"Is it possible to learn better
if you slow down the pictures?"

A.
I don't think so.

Slowing down may cause you
to miss the gestalt,
the big picture,
and result in incomplete
or mistaken thinking.

A little knowledge
is a dangerous and misleading thing.

It's hard to fill in
the web of knowledge
when your web is unattached
at important corners.
--------------------

WHY DOES IT WORK?

EXPECTANT MINDS

Anticipatory abilities
of the mind.

Common cultural expectancy.

You're so familiar
with seeing patterns
that you can anticipate
what the following pictures will show.

From this limited information
you can make many
conclusions and decisions.

Preparedness lets you
make rapid decisions.
--------------------

WE HAVE UNBELIEVABLY
FAST MINDS

Mind numbing quantities
of information
are quickly organized.

The mind rapidly
converts new information to:
Understanding
Actions
Memory

It is not instant.

It is within milliseconds
when needed.

When is it needed?

When you are in danger.

When you are listening.

When you are reading.

When you are speaking.

When you are writing.

The mind predicts.

The mind fills in
missing information.

This is not hard
for the mind to do.
--------------------

SLIDE SHOW SEQUENCES
ARE USUALLY PREDICTABLE

Take advantage
of common knowledge.

You have plenty of time
to use your:
prediction skills
anticipation skills
inference skills.
