| Mission |
Mission: The primary mission of IC&TA is the training and implementation of
Instrumental Enrichment to professionals in a variety of educational, human
service, and corporate settings. Our aim is to prepare individuals to be fully
conversant with the theory, application, relevant research and appropriate
assessment techniques for full implementation with a variety of student
populations of a wide age range. Although we are involved in the training of
professionals in regular-education settings, we also specialize in preparing
professionals and parents who are working with students who have special needs of
various kinds. The Director of Training has more than 20 years of experience in
working with special populations, and a similar period of experience working with
regular populations, and has conducted numerous research studies on the
effects of Instrumental Enrichment with special populations; he has been a
certified FIE trainer since 1978.
Two additional services are provided by IC&TA:
1. An additional service that IC&TA provides to everyone who is trained by us
is regular follow-up. Follow-up may take the form of no-cost consultation
with those implementing the program through remote connections such as
electronic mail or telephone; more often, however, it takes the form of no-cost on-site
visitations to the trainee's educational setting where he/she is implementing
the program. In this context, the trainer may team teach an FIE lesson with
the trainee and provide feedback, or may carry out a demonstration lesson with
the trainee's group of students. Follow-up sessions are scheduled several
times per year to occur in between the various training sessions at each level of
FIE, e.g. after two days of training, after another two days of training,
etc.
2. Another service provided by IC&TA is guidance and assistance with
conducting assessment to determine the effects of FIE on trainees' particular
populations. The trainer helps the trainees design assessments that fit the local
context, advises about data collection, assists in analyzing the data collected
and works with the trainee to interpret the results of the assessments. The
emphasis is on a multi-modal approach to assessment, using a variety of
credible assessment instruments to fit the particular type of population with
which FIE is being implemented. These assessments prove valuable in establishing
the case for continuing implementation of FIE in various contexts.
IC&TA operates FIE Awareness conferences, seminars, workshops, Level I,II &
III training and follow-up implementation in both English and Spanish.
Our overall goal is to enable learners of many ages to teach to their fullest
intellectual potential. |
