All Kinds of Minds and Schools Attuned®In 1995 All Kinds of Minds was co-founded by Dr. Mel Levine and Charles Schwab with a mission to enhance the lives of children with learning differences.In 1996 The Children’s Health Council (CHC) in Palo Alto became one of 7 nationally approved regional training sites to deliver the Schools Attuned® program. This program equips regular educators with knowledge of brain research and learning to improve their teaching and support of struggling students

  6. Research about learning • Studying right before going to sleep helps students consolidate information most efficiently in memory • The tripod pencil grasp may not be the best grip for graphomotor control for all students- holding a pencil between the 2nd and 3rd fingers was successfully used in Germany • Focus objects can be helpful to students who struggle with attention

  7. Learning about learning

Schools Attuned • The Schools Attuned Program embraces that struggling students can respond to instruction once their strengths, weaknesses, and needs are understood through a carefully-managed process in their classrooms. • The Schools Attuned Program is focused on supporting the ways that students in all classrooms respond to instruction. RtI is supported across all tiers with Schools Attuned. • The Schools Attuned Program equips educators with a step by step problem solving process by arming them with knowledge, skills and tools to address interventions as student needs increase
