The "Visual Realization"™ program is a practice-based professional development program integrated with digital imagery authoring technology and curricula models. This program uses Digital Imagery as an Instructional Mode for Student Achievement (DIIMSA®) as a model (developed by "Visual Realization"™ Program educational leaders) to provide teachers with unlimited opportunities to engage learners in activities for long-term learning of science concepts, while instilling scientific processes. The DIIMSA® Model allows program participants to integrate conceptual teaching, collaborative learning integrated with enabling technologies in classroom teaching which can be demonstrated as students perform campus-based, case study, field excursion and laboratory experiences. The National Science Education Standards state that "learning science is something that students do, not something that is done to them." It is exactly this idea that drives the program. Through research and continuous review, we have been able to effectively create a unique and proven unified solution that bolsters student achievement, while increasing teacher enhancement through the use of "Visual Realization"™.
