The Southeastern Center for the Enhancement of Learning (SCEL) offers programs and curricula that have been shown to enhance learning skills.

Report on SCEL Feuerstein Training 2009
The Southeastern
Center for the Enhancement of Learning (SCEL) conducted its annual
Cognitive Enrichment Workshops at Jones Memorial Community Learning
Center in Metro Atlanta, Georgia during the weeks of June 8- 26,
2009. Training was offered for IE Standard, Levels I, II, and III;
for IE Basic I, and for LPAD II. Trainers were Dr. Martha Wood, Dr.
Jan Scott, Dr. Joyce Swofford, Dr. Elles Taddeo, and Dr. Lou Falik.
International participants in SCEL’s 2009 Cognitive Enrichment
Workshops came from Argentina, Thailand, Ukraine, and Canada. In
addition to local attendees, U. S. participants traveled from
California, Kentucky, Florida, Washington DC, and Hawaii. Guest
trainer, Dr. Lou Falik, came from Israel.
Trainees will now be able to help students all over the world become
better thinkers and learners. The SCEL staff considers these
training classes to be a major part of our mission, and we are
grateful that Jones Memorial can make space available for the
training.
The intensity of the training can be verified by the fact that even
our inexhaustible Conference Coordinator, Lois Collins, admitted to
being ‘tired” at the end of the third week.

Pilot Implementation of the FastTrack Program in the U. S.
FastTrack is a program designed by ICELP for training management level personnel in business and industry settings. The goal is to improve their problem solving/decision making skills through 50 hours of training using selected pages for all three levels of the FIE Standard curriculum. SCEL has recently trained twenty management personnel from a local utility company using the FastTrack program. This pilot training was conducted by Dr. Martha Wood and Dr. Joyce Swofford over a five month period with two to three hour weekly sessions.

LPAD Practitioners
Since its inception, SCEL has been vitally interested in making training for the Learning Propensity Assessment Device available in the United States. For several years we were the only ATC that offered LPAD Training, and we frequently have inquiries from parents and others about LPAD practitioners in particular locations. Sometimes from our own knowledge we are able to make recommendations from among those who have trained at SCEL, but often those seeking the LPAD have to come to Atlanta in order to have access to one of our three LPAD practitioners.
As a service to those seeking LPAD practitioners, we would like to post the names and locations for those who would be willing to take referrals for the LPAD assessment. If you would like to be listed as a certified LPAD practitioner, please contact our office manager Lois Colllns at: info@scel.org.
