Welcome!


To be a teacher or therapist in today’s environment is more challenging than ever before.  More discipline problems, more special needs students, more student diversity, more time pressures – more of everything. Today’s practitioner needs a new solution, one that offers better tools to effect meaningful change.
Fifty years ago, and fifty years ahead of his time, Professor Reuven Feuerstein made the radical claim that everyone, no matter what their situation or disability, can change – and change dramatically.  More than any other cognitive program, the Feuerstein method has withstood the test of time.  For half a century, tens of thousands of children from all over the world and from every walk of life have undergone dramatic transformations in their learning potential through the Feuerstein method.
The Feuerstein approach is rooted in Professor Feuerstein’s unique theory of Structural Cognitive Modifiability (SCM) and the implementation of Mediated Learning Experience (MLE), a powerful combination that provides the framework for the practitioner to help the child unlock his or her often-hidden potential.
The Feuerstein Institute International Summer Institute introduces educators, psychologists and other specialists to the theory and hands-on practice of Structural Cognitive Modifiability (SCM) and Mediated Learning Experience, as well as the use of dynamic assessment (assessing a child’s ultimate potential rather than his/her mere current ability) and Instrumental Enrichment intervention.
Practitioners will learn with the world’s leading specialists in the Feuerstein method.  They will leave the Summer Institute with concrete knowledge of these methods and the ability to use them with confidence to help their student or clients.  They will benefit from experience acquired through decades of clinical work and educational observation that has shown the exact nature and quality of the interaction between the child and the practitioner needed to bring about the most meaningful change.
The Feuerstein Institute International Summer Institute has been providing exceptional training for more than a quarter-century.  This year’s annual workshops will enable you to follow in the footsteps of practitioners from dozens of countries who are now seeing transformative changes in the children they help.

 

Learning Potential Assessment Device (LPAD)

The LPAD is a procedure and a set of instruments enabling one to evaluate the learning process and identify an individual’s cognitive functions, operations and problem solving strategies. The LPAD is based on Feuerstein’s theory of Structural Cognitive Modifiability which proposes that intelligence is dynamic and modifiable, not static or fixed. LPAD offers a viable alternative to the static IQ type of tests, because it focuses on the learners’ dynamic potential or propensity rather than their current performance level. The LPAD has an interactive nature with the evaluator actively mediating to the student in the process of assessment.
The goals and procedures of LPAD differ in principle from those of static assessment. The LPAD is process- rather than product-oriented. It investigates the learner’s process of reasoning rather than the quantifiable answers. LPAD compares the learner’s performance to his or her own performance at different times and different conditions, rather than to the age norm. LPAD evaluates individual learning propensity and cognitive modifiability rather than the current level of performance. LPAD actively produces in the learner a sample of cognitive changes and uses them for evaluation. The outcome of LPAD procedure is a descriptive profile of modifiability that includes the area of cognitive change and the degree of change. On the basis of LPAD assessments recommendations are made regarding the psycho-educational intervention, which often includes the Instrumental Enrichment (IE) program.
LPAD training is intended for psychologists, educators, speech and occupational therapists, and other clinical professionals. The training process includes acquaintance with LPAD instruments, supervised assessment experience, and report writing.

·      Previous study of IE is re­com­mended. Ex­cept­ions may be made for professionals with substantial assessment experience.
·       Applicants are en­couraged to read in advance the theoretical material available on the Feuerstein Institute’s website www.icelp.org (Research> Basic>Theory>LPAD) and in Feuerstein R.  et al. (2002) The dynamic ass­ess­ment of cognitive modifiability, Jerusalem: ICELP.

Cognitive Intervention Programs via Instrumental Enrichment  (IE)


“Just a minute…let me think!”

Feuerstein's Instrumental Enrichment Program (IE) is a cognitive intervention program that can be used both individually and in the classroom framework. The IE program has been successfully used all over the world as a tool for the enhancement of learning potential and cognitive functioning of children and adults. For individuals with special needs, IE is used as a remediation program; for higher functioning learners IE is a tool of cognitive enrichment. To date, the IE program has been successfully used in the following frameworks:
·     Enrichment programs for underachieving, regular and gifted children;
·     Learning enhancement programs for immigrant and cultural minority students;
·     Remedial programs for special needs children;
·     Cognitive rehabilitation of brain injured individuals and psychiatric patients;
·     Professional training and retraining programs in the industrial, military, and business sectors.
IE as a classroom curriculum is aimed at enhancing the students’ cognitive functions necessary for academic learning and achievement. The fundamental assumption of the program, based on Feuerstein’s theory of Structural Cognitive Modifiability and Mediated Learning Experience is that intelligence is dynamic and modifiable, not static or fixed. Thus, the FIE program seeks to correct deficiencies in fundamental thinking skills, provides students with the concepts, skills, strategies, operations and techniques necessary to function as independent learners, increases their motivation, develops students’ metacognition, and in a word, helps students “learn how to learn.”

IE materials are organized into 14 instruments that comprise paper and pencil tasks aimed at such specific cognitive domains as analytic perception, orientation in space and time, comparison, classification, and more. Deliberately free of specific subject matter, the IE tasks are intended to be more readily transferable to all educational and everyday life situations. The IE materials and teacher manuals have received worldwide recognition and have been translated into 17 languages including all major European and some Asian languages. In addition, there is a Braille version of IE tools for blind learners.

IE is the most researched of the various cognitive intervention programs. A complete bibliography of IE research includes hundreds of books, articles, reports, and doctoral dissertations.


·       Applicants are en­couraged to read in advance the theoretical material available on Feuerstein Institute’s website www.icelp.org (Research – Basic theory – IE) and in Feuerstein, R. et al (2006). Creating and enhancing cognitive modifiability. Jerusalem: ICELP Press.
