Event Dates Description
Teaching All Kinds of Minds (Boston, MA) 04/16/2013 to 04/18/2013

This course engages K-12 educators in exploring the science of learning and a better understanding of student learning profiles.  The three-day course focuses on using the All Kinds of Minds approach to support students’ uniquely wired minds, so teachers can create more constructive learning environments.  We will use case studies and activities to demonstrate how to observe and describe students’ learning profiles, and guided practice explore how to adapt instruction and design targeted interventions based on the neurodevelopmental demands of an academic task, students’ learning profiles, and your own learning profile.  $450 per participant(includes resource materials)

Event Dates Description
All Kinds of Minds Critical Friends Group Coaches' Institute (Crownsville, MD) 07/08/2013 to 07/12/2013

Use the practices of collaborative, professional learning communities to support the implementation of All Kinds of Minds in your school. Critical Friends Groups (CFGs) are small cadres of teachers and/or administrators who commit themselves to learning - with and from one another. Each CFG has a coach or facilitator who helps the group build trust by engaging the group in meaningful work while providing a safe environment for taking risks.  The coach learns strategies to build and sustain a learning community among colleagues.  This person is a member of the group, while helping others learn the skills that promote reflection, innovation, and making the work of teaching visible.  For more information, please click here for Event Flyer. To register, please click here.

 Prerequisite: Must have participated in either an All Kinds of Minds’ Schools Attuned (SA) or Teaching All Kinds of Minds (TAKOM) course.
