Interview: Sandra Heusel – Eaton Arrowsmith School

May 3rd, 2010

Children with learning difficulties have a lot to learn at the Eaton Arrowsmith Schools in Vancouver and Victoria.

I spoke to Sandra Heusel from Eaton Arrowsmith to get a better understanding of the unique program available at these schools.  We had a great chat that touched on the program that the teachers use to help their students train their brain to overcome their learning difficulties.

Interview: Dave Bird from Pinehurst School

May 3rd, 2010

I had a great time last week speaking with Dave Bird, principal of the Pinehurst School in St. Catherines.   Pinehurst (view their listing on OurKids.net) specializes in helping students who have learning or behavioural difficulties that prevent them from succeeding in “traditional” classrooms.

From their website:

Our Mission is to motivate all of our Pinehurst community members to achieve their potential in intellectual, emotional, social, physical and moral development; to exercise a positive and pro-active role in addressing contemporary societal issues and in resolving social conflicts; and to provide a stimulating, engaging, and highly structured learning environment, focused upon preparing for college/university success.

Dave is a passionate and committed educator who gives some great advice to parents and students who struggle within schools that are unable to provide the support necessary for these troubled teens to succeed.
