Learn 'how to learn' from the internationally renowned work of psychologist Professor Reuven Feuerstein.
Feuerstein believed that every human being, no matter what their age or stage, can improve their thinking, cognition and intelligence. This belief is based on his theory of ‘structural cognitive modifiability’ – a theory of hope.
Feuerstein cognitive enhancement programs are a powerful way to help students understand their emotions, think more flexibly and improve their decision-making skills.
As Australia’s only authorised Feuerstein training centre, Independent Schools Victoria (ISV) offers a unique opportunity to train with qualified and experienced facilitators.
Each program is open to educators, therapists, support staff and parents. Once you have completed the training, you will be certified to teach Feuerstein’s series of tools – known as ‘instruments’ – to help improve the cognitive function of your students.
Feuerstein in practice at Ballarat Grammar
Ballarat Grammar has adapted the Feuerstein program for its context. ‘Thinking Skills’, as it is known, began as a pilot program for a small group of students in 2017. It has now been rolled out to all students on a year level basis and they are thriving, both in and out of the classroom.
“We’ve seen continued growth from the students in their confidence to tackle challenging problems when they were feeling a bit stuck in their learning and also confidence in working with other students in the classroom.”
— Mark Warwick, Co-Deputy Head; Head of Junior School, Ballarat Grammar
