Don't miss this great learning opportunity! Offered only twice a year!
Visit Boston during the beautiful fall foliage!
"Since introducing the Quantum Learning teaching moves into my classroom,
I've seen students recall detailed scientific information eight months
after I taught it! Besides retention, students are enjoying learning, I've
got them singing about photosynthesis and bacteria in between classes!" -
Tamara Thompson, YouthBuild teacher and Quantum Learning qualified
instructor
"The most effective experience was the EELDRC design frame for a learning
environment, Enroll, Experience, Learn and Label, Demonstrate, Review,
Celebration. This alone will help me organize my class to a format that is
effective and saves time. - anonymous
