[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is CTTL?[/quote]
+1 I understand CTTL in terms of college, not high school (Colleges That Change Lives https://ctcl.org/college-map/).  What does it mean for SAES?[/quote]

It’s SAES center for transformative teaching and learning or something like that. They have an US teacher who wrote a book I think and studies the brain on the best ways for kids to learn. Sounds great but I’ve heard that the school doesn’t follow it or doesn’t emphasize it. We were impressed in our tours of LS as they discussed it but on further research it appeared to us that SAES really wasn’t great with kids who do actually learn differently. So we chose a different school. [/quote]

I know SAES very well. The CTTL is the Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning. They are research-informed, not researchers themselves, and use the findings to inform curriculum choices, teaching practices, and social-emotional learning. People often assume that b/c it imbeds the neuroscience of learning, that the school is a place catering to neurodivergent students. That is completely false, which is why parents may be disappointed when enroll their neurodivergent kid.[/quote]
