DescriptionNew and Improved!

In this engaging and inspiring introduction, teachers and leaders learn the essential Quantum Learning theories, models and practical applications to create vibrant and productive student learning. They discover the QL System’s power to achieve desired outcomes through the purposeful orchestration of core components—Foundation, Atmosphere, Environment and Design and Delivery. QL Instructors explain the supporting research behind the strategies and then provide time for participants to assimilate the new material and consider applications to their instructional practice.

Engaged students learn more, remember what they learn, and have more positive attitudes about school and learning. At a fundamental level, the first step toward achieving standards is effective behavior management and a well-orchestrated classroom. Quantum Learning’s focus on cultivating a positive culture in every classroom increases teacher effectiveness and students’ academic excellence. During this program teachers learn to create an intellectually engaging, focused, and cognitive-rich classroom culture built on safety, support and belonging.
