The Arrowsmith Program is based on the application of neuroscientific research and for over 35 years we have worked to help students strengthen the weak cognitive capacities underlying a range of learning difficulties. Our goal is to help students become effective, confident, and self-directed learners. For children and youth, this includes enabling them to return to a regular school after a three to four year program.

    Program Trainers

    Whilst the Arrowsmith Program trainers were in Sydney for the recent teacher training course in Sydney, Australia, the opportunity was seized to offer an in-person professional development opportunity for Arrowsmith Program teachers in Australia and New Zealand. 41 teachers from Australia and New Zealand gathered to increase their knowledge and skills about implementing the program as well as meet each other, some for the first time. Among the participants were the first teachers trained in Australia and New Zealand as well as the most recent trainees. Arrowsmith Program teachers need to participle in compulsory and optional professional development sessions each year in order to maintain their accreditation as an Arrowsmith Program teacher.
