Parent Resource Room
Our Parent Resource Room provides resources and books for parents. We also have a Parent Education coordinator who coordinates classes for parents on a wide variety of topics for normally developing children as well as topics that include issues related to specific diagnostic categories.
The Children's Health Council appreciates partnering with the
The Health Trust to bring the Learning Initiative to
Santa Clara County.
The Santa Clara County Learning Initiative, a project
of the Children's Health Council initiated and lead
challenge funding provided by The Health Trust, focuses
on school change in support of children who learn differently.
It involves a professional development program for
regular teachers called Schools Attuned® which
is
based
on the groundbreaking work of Dr. Mel Levine. Mentoring and coaching
helps sustain and implement this approach which gives
educators a unique research based neurodevelopmetnal approach to learning that
increases their knowledge and power to improve school performance and
help all students have greater academic success.
Schools
Attuned®
The Schools Attuned®
Program from All
Kinds of Minds® is a five-day 35-hour course that prepares educators
to meet the diverse learning needs of all students
in the classroom. This groundbreaking professional
development and service
delivery program for K-12 educators can help teachers
understand, identify,
and address differences in learning to help all students
achieve success in
the classroom and in life.
Recognizing that teachers, administrators and related service professionals
are
in the best position to observe and manage differences
in learning, the Program
helps them understand how the brain is “wired,” various
ways that students learn, patterns of students’ differences in learning
and how students’ passions and strengths can be used to overcome weaknesses
within the regular classroom.
This year long program includes 10 hours of practicum after completion
of the core course. This equips teachers to make the best instructional
decisions to ensure that each student can find academic and social success.
When implemented within schools, this program enriches the way all children
are educated.
The Children’s Health Council (CHC) is proud to be a Professional Development
Provider for the All Kinds of Minds Institute delivering the Schools
Attuned Program throughout Northern California. Workshops are conducted
at The Children’s Health Council or can be delivered to individual schools
and organizations by special request. Educators, nationally prepared
by All Kinds of Minds, facilitate this program.
