We are pleased to be the July bloggers for AKOM. We have actively implemented the Schools Attuned program since 2004; all of our students get demystified during their first year at Purnell, all teachers are trained, and AKOM strategies and terminology are utilized in and outside of class. As a small girls boarding school, we at Purnell have the unique opportunity to implement the All Kinds Of Minds Program in many aspects of academic and residential life. As the Affinities Coordinator at Purnell School, I would love to open up a dialog or answer any questions about the implementation and/or effectiveness of the program in a boarding school situation. As we progress through the month, more of our faculty will chime in.
I checked out your school’s website after reading your blog entry. I would love to hear more about how your school has institutionalized the All Kinds of Minds philosophy into every aspect of your school. I would also be interested in hearing more about your position as Affinities Coordinator at the school. What does that mean and what do you do?
