A quote by James Comer, Associate Dean of Medicine and Professor of Child Psychiatry at Yale University, explains it well: "No significant learning occurs without a significant relationship." The Extraordinary Learning Foundation is working to make all children full members and participants in their classrooms. Our goal is to help teachers accomplish learning through significant relationships. We believe that each and every child has the talents, desires, and abilities to be a successful learner and communicator. Many, many parents have experienced difficulties and frustrations in finding appropriate learning situations for their children. Many teachers struggle to help these children using techniques that "should" work, but that don't help the child like they'd hoped. There are thousands of children, parents, and teachers, in America and world wide, that we believe we can help. We have been encouraged, by colleagues and families with whom we've worked, to spread our powerful message to teachers, parents, and professionals: extraordinary learning can happen when a connection is made with a child, and when we tap into their natural, inner abilities. We need your help to do this. Please consider sending a donation to our foundation. Your contribution will help us reach these children by supporting our Center, our publications, and our research.
