Review for All Kinds of Minds, Durham, NC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

All Kinds of Minds is a fantastic organization run by wonderful and caring people. My School, Wasatch Academy partnered with AKOM nearly ten years ago and has never looked back. We saw positive impact on our students' achievement and overall happiness in school. Based on these early successes, Wasatch Academy committed to training all of its teachers, dorm parents and administrators. We have used the AKOM framework to inspire programs and services at the individual student, Whole class, and school-wide levels. Teachers are trained and expected to intervene within their own fields of expertise as well as support the interventions of colleagues teaching other classes. In an age where many private schools are struggling, Wasatch Academy is thriving and expanding. With students from 33 countries and 22 states, representing a wide variety of learning styles and strengths, we are proud to say that when it comes to walking the walk, Wasatch Academy really does... We teach all kinds of minds. And we reach them too! Thanks to AKOM for their dedication to developing quality programming for educators!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

1.Understanding neaurodevelopment and its impact on learning 2.Understanding Neurodevelopmental variation and its implications for teachers and school administrators 3. Developing programs and services based on the AKOM framework and philosophy

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Move their headquarters to Utah. ;-)

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

Great programs, wonderful people and commitment to supporting advancement in educational theory and practice

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

wonderful, patient, and supportive

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

1. Reach more teachers, help more students, offer services at no charge to those who can not afford their programs. 2. Begin to offer consultation services and professional development at little or no cost

Ways to make it better...

Tough to say. I have ALWAYS been beyond satisfied and supported by AKOM.
