We are a little late this month... We have been working on a new look. Hope you like it!

We have been very busy here in Ventura. Our summer has been filled with conferences, workshops, and LearningSuccess Coach Certification trainings.

This month a new group completed the first session of Level 3 - a year-long internship program that begins with:
• a review of the LearningSuccess Laws (see below)
• a new look at the C.A.R.E.S. and F.I.T.T. attitudes (this month we will feature E)
• the first step of an in-depth journey into understanding themselves and others so they can be more effective LearningSuccess Coaches

Here are some comments from Level 3 participants:

“I finally learned how to remember the spelling of odd words using my learning style.” Carolyn Forte, Excellence in Education

“I learned that writing is nothing to be feared and easily taught.” Grace Hess-Quimbita

“This first session has shown me that my participation in level three training this year will open the door to my own self discovery. This will be a dynamic life changing year for me and all the participants!” Barbara Cook, Independent Study Support Teacher

“This first part of Level 3 leaves me with hope for the future. It’s really given me a foundation to achieve my personal and professional growth. The personal development side is giving me the clarity of my mission, plus I’m getting the tools to integrate everything I learned in Levels 1 and 2 and put it into real action. More importantly, it’s fun! That means all learning can be fun.” Rebecca Wolthers, Laurel Springs School

Yes, Rebecca, it is fun - AND fulfilling - for us, too!

Parents, do you want less struggling over homework and school issues and more family harmony?
Homeschoolers, do you want peace of mind knowing you are giving your kids what they need to learn and thrive?
Teachers, do you want to go beyond “no child left behind” to true learning success for ALL of your students?

Did you know that most kids are not ready developmentally to read or write until they are 8 or 9 years old—that the muscles of their eyes are not ready to track print, and that their wrists and hands are not ready for pencils?

Did you know that at least 60% of the population are picture and hands-on learners?

Did you know that people who are not print learners will never learn to spell by writing words over and over again?

You will learn how to work with your child’s or student’s natural gifts and dispositions, rather than applying dysfunctional labels such as A.D.D., Dyslexic, Hyperactive, Learning Disabled, or even average.

Come find out how to be your child’s or student’s LearningSuccess Coach!

“Awesome weekend - you blended the best of the best in educational techniques and communication skills. It's a clear path toward successful, compassionate and child-centered education all rolled into one.”
Rachelle Wafer, teacher, Laurel Springs School

“I feel so enriched by my three days with you both!”
Sally Van Der Kar, mom and teacher

“Victoria and Mariaemma are amazing! Every school, parent and person who works with kids should use their book and assessments.”
Suzanne Lopez, therapist

“I received some great teaching techniques but, more importantly, I realized that learning and evaluation don't have to pit one student against another. Everyone can succeed without diminishing the other people with whom they learn.”
Heather Havens, Assessment Coordinator

“I have already learned so many valuable things that I plan to use immediately. I can't wait for the next session!! I have a very strong feeling that this is going to open up a whole new career path for me, one that I never would have considered before. Thank you for your ideas, your presentations, your encouraging words and your warmth.”
Helene McCabe, public school mom
