Brooks Hosts Learning Specialists
Led by Director of the Learning Center Karina Moltz, the Brooks Learning Center team welcomed more than 25 learning specialists from across the Northeast for the first in-person member meeting of the year of the New England Association of Learning Specialists (NEALS) on Wednesday. The day provided an opportunity for educators to connect, share ideas and explore effective ways to support students with diverse learning needs. Guests toured the Academic Commons and discussed how the newly imagined space has transformed teaching and learning at Brooks.
New England Neurodevelopment's Dr. David Stein (below middle, with Moltz and Learning Center Specialist Amo Weld) spoke with the group about understanding neuropsychological evaluations and translating recommendations into meaningful student support, which led to a collaborative discussion about the intersection of anxiety and learning. Attendees also visited the Lehman Art Gallery, where they viewed our Andy Warhol exhibition. It was a wonderful day of professional learning, collaboration and connection.
