…Paoli, PA… Valley Forge Educational Services will offer “Understanding Learning and Learners,” an All Kinds of Minds program, on Friday, October 8 from 8:30am-3:30pm.

The program introduces educators to a way of using the science of learning to better understand the learning diversity encountered every day in the classroom.  Participants will be introduced to the “neurodevelopmental framework” that is the content foundation of the All Kinds of Minds approach. They will discover how students’ unique learning profiles can affect their school performance and get ideas on using this deeper understanding of learning to align curriculum and instruction with the learning profiles of students.

ACT 48 credit is provided. The program will be held at the VFES Activities Center, 1777 North Valley Road, Malvern, PA 19355.

Register online for this program. Please contact Maria Kreiter, VFES’ Director of Conferences & Training, with questions at 610-296-6725 or makreiter@vfes.net.
