The Feuerstein Institute - Feuerstein International Summer Workshops, July 2019

Sunday, July 7, 2019 - 08:00 to Friday, July 19, 2019 - 08:00

The Feuerstein Method includes the foundational theory of Mediated Learning Experience and two applied systems: the Learning Propensity Assessment Device (LPAD) and Instrumental Enrichment (IE).The goal of the LPAD is to identify the examinee's learning potential - to literally decipher which cognitive functions need to be developed in order to tap into and maximize their latent learning potential.

The Instrumental Enrichment cognitive intervention program is comprised of a series of 14 instruments (IE Standard) or 11 instruments (IE Basic, for children age 8 and younger). They are a collection of non-curricular tasks taught by the teacher in classroom, or individually in after-school enrichment settings. Each instrument teaches the user a vital cognitive strategy; to gather and apply information, to strategize, to problem solve - to learn.

The International Summer Workshop is the pinnacle event in the Feuerstein-Bassou International Training Academy calendar. During this two week training event, courses are offered in all aspects of Feuerstein trainings - Instrumental Enrichment (IE & IE Basic), the Learning Propensity Assessment Device (Individual, Digital-Group, and Basic), and the Tactile IE program for ADD/ADHD and visually impaired learners.
