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 yearlong 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.
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.
