A Note from Susan
Susan’s Research-Designed Workshops not only address the issues of poverty and trauma-sensitive learners, but she models how to incorporate dozens of brain-based, easy-to-manage instructional techniques, all designed especially to help you kick start student engagement, improve working memory, and get all your students performing better, starting today!
Susan also offers a Comprehensive, Schoolwide Implementation Plan that includes not only workshops, but instructional coaching and side-by-side assistance with functional assessment data at the classroom level to provide support for individual teachers and administrators as they incorporate their new knowledge into classroom instruction.
In the past 15 years, there has been more break-throughs in learning and the brain than in the previous 70 years of medical and educational research. New understanding of how the brain works and what instructional strategies have a positive impact on learning are widely acclaimed. The problem for edu-cators is sifting through this avalance of research and translating the "news" into action in the classroom.
Unfortunately, reading the research and determining what's most effective and how to apply that to one's classroom practices would be a full-time job in and of itself. Since my retirement from public school administration, I have followed up on my desire to help teachers understand and best use the latest research that most powerfully impacts student learning and growth.
I had the privilege to learn from Eric Jensen by attending several of his high-powered seminars on learning, poverty and the brain. As a participant, I can tell you the experience is astounding. In addition to the knowledge I gained, I signed into his unique train-the-trainer program so I could bring his world-class training to my workshop participants. Eric will tell you, there are no secret ingredients to a great presentation. He simply applies the brain based learning stra-tegies he teaches to his own presentation delivery.
I look forward to sharing these techniques with teachers and schools who want their struggling students to succeed.
