The goals of the Schools Attuned Program are to strengthen educators' understanding and management of differences in learning, help educators to help students become aware of their learning profile and improve students' academic and social achievement, and create schools that respect differences in learning and nurture strengths in students.
To achieve these goals, 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 design of the program was guided by the need to develop content and instructional techniques that respect and use educators' wisdom of professional practice, ensure that educators are actively engaged in learning new content, develop reflection and other professional practices, and provide for classroom-based follow-up for at least a year after participation in the Core Course.
