Aligned with our mission and values, financial assistance is available for schools that serve predominantly students of color or students from low-income households. For more information, reach out to us today to talk more.
We discussed shifting the mentality of teaching from just being masters of content area to being creative curators and facilitators of learning experiences. Shifting our perspectives in this way will help to foster better learning experiences for our students and provide equity for all of our learners.

I learned that neurodivergence takes away from the idea that learning disabilities, ASD, etc., disenfranchise students in their path towards learning and that instead, neurodivergence should be celebrated and resignified with a fresh attitude towards learning how to stimulate learning for students who belong to varying learning spheres.
– Nick W., CEC Windsor
I really appreciated the way that this session was led so that we were able to create topics that we all feel invested in and excited to work on. It felt collaborative and purposeful. I am excited and is a shift from where we were in the first session.
– Natascha D., NDA Regional Team
I will take what I have learned today to find ways to improve my guided notes that I have students complete in lectures to be more personal to their learning styles and allow them to have some creativity. My plan is that this will allow students to incorporate their own ideas into their learning and give them a chance to express their thoughts and skills into the assignment.
– John N., CEC Windsor
One learning I am taking away from our workshop is that neurodivergence is a problem that needs to be tackled at a societal level, employers, educators and communities need to recognize the strengths in neurodivergent applicants and put less emphasis on assessments that capture only a part of a persons skills.
– William B., Ashland Middle School
