The heart of The Private Eye program is thinking by analogy, which leading educators and neuroscientists consider to be at the core of cognition — in other words, the foundation of all learning, indeed, knowledge.
The Private Eye process develops critical thinking skills, creativity, literacy as well as scientific and mathematical literacy — across subjects.
The Private Eye provides a natural, efficient, holistic basis to meet the Common Core State Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards
