The purpose of the Schools Attuned Program is to equip teams of educators with
new knowledge, skills, and strategies so that sound, defensible professional
judgments can be made about instructional practices with struggling learners.
The Schools Attuned Program embraces the philosophy and principles of All Kinds
of Minds, a private, non-profit organization dedicated to the understanding of
differences in learning.

The Schools Attuned Program is a comprehensive yearlong professional
development program for K-12 education. The Program reflects the most current,
research-based principles of professional development that changes teaching
practice and has a positive impact on student outcomes. Participants register
for one of two “paths,”
Generalist or Subject Specialist. The different paths are designed to
address the areas of interest and expertise of educators and other related
service professionals based on the grade levels and/or subject areas they
teach. Both paths share the key features of the Schools Attuned Program:
pre-course work, a core instructional course of a minimum of 35 hours, and a
minimum of 10 hours of follow-up experiences. The curriculum is based on
focused study (content)
and school based application (process)
of eight neurodevelopmental constructs that affect learning.

The Schools Attuned Program was designed using principles that reflect
standards of professional development from the National Staff Development
Council and current research on adult learning. The program was guided by the
need to develop content and instructional techniques that build upon educators'
wisdom of professional practice, ensure that educators are actively engaged in
learning new content, develop capacity for reflection, and provide for
classroom-centered follow-up for at least a year after participation in the
Schools Attuned Core Course.
