For Schools In-Service Training of Faculty and Administration A key to helping hard-to-understand students often lies in recognizing the role of Cognitive Load and five variables that most frequently and powerfully affect it. Overload can disrupt the best curriculums and teaching techniques, particularly in today’s demanding academic environment. Attention to cognitive load can make teaching intervention techniques consistently effective and more powerful, and help meet the challenges of multiple learning styles and differences in a mainstream classroom. Training with Dr. Ahern provides a thorough understanding of these topics, how they may be recognized in student behavior. Training can be directed either to optimizing general education or interventions and accommodations that lead to effective learning in children with learning disabilities or difficulties. Emphasis is on developing effective techniques and application to practice. Each session concludes with Q&A. Sample Watershed Learning Institute Training Topics:

“Dr. Ahern delivers a rare package to educators — cutting-edge neuroscience, neuropsychological principles, and insights into puzzling students. Others know the science but have not worked directly with students over-time and while conducting on-going remediation in academic areas. His unique practice allows him draw upon real-life student experiences which enables him to be more valuable to educators than any other professional in his field. His respectful collaboration with teachers and school personnel is a genuine gift to the educational community. His insights cannot be found anywhere else.” ~Marion Marshall, M.S. |
