Educator Empowerment Model

Central to Project Eye-To-Eye's work is educating and empowering teachers and school professionals to support the unique learning needs of LD/ADHD students. Many teachers are simply not educated appropriately about LD/ADHD issues and alternative learning styles, and our schools are ill-equipped to provide individualized education on any systematic level. The current models for providing an equitable education to students with LD/ADHD are in crisis. The traditional special education model (a "pull-out" model) has proven ineffective, and the alternative, "inclusionary education" model (mainstreaming), places children with LD/ADHD in classrooms where teachers are unprepared to meet the students' specialized needs.

To address teachers' needs for access to basic information and an instruction in a non-deficit empowerment model, Project Eye-To-Eye offers resources, workshops and speakers' networks for K-12 and postsecondary educators. Please contact Project Eye-To-Eye for more information about any of our educator empowerment programs listed below:

Think Different Diplomats: Young LD/ADHD Public Speakers
A core element of Project Eye-To-Eye's educator programming is our grassroots speaking network. This is a speaker's board led by the Project Eye-To-Eye executive staff, consisting entirely of LD/ADHD individuals from our local chapters who are trained to deliver public presentations on their experiences to educators in their community.

On Site Workshops
Project Eye-To-Eye provides full or half-day workshops and teacher in-services, at a significantly reduced rate, for all of our partner institutions. These workshops are designed for K-12 educators, teachers in training, and university faculty and educational professionals using our asset-based empowerment model.
