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

Rating: 5 stars  

In 2008 Greenwood School brought the AKOM (Schools Attuned) training to our teachers. It was exciting to see our teachers enthused about accommodating their students learning styles by applying different teaching styles. Teachers work together to assess students and share their information. Now we are also having our students (grades 6-12) assess their own learing style and advocate for their accommodations. Teachers consistantly use their placemats when writing students' annual goals and objectives, developing classroom lessons, quizzes, and tests, and conducting parent conferences. The now have a common language to describe each child's learning strengths and weaknesses. We have continued training and will be incorporating the Schools Attuned constructs into our Rubicon curriculum mapping. Overall, this has been a win-win for our teachers and students. We are proud to be an AKOM School of Distinction. Jody Sealy, Admissions Coordinator Greenwood School, Jacksonville, FL A different way of teaching. A better way of leaning.
