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.
