Equipping Minds in the Classroom around the world. Learn how to develop the cognitive skills FOR learning. 

You can watch the course year-round. Equipping Minds trains educators, therapists, parents, and other specialists in our multidisciplinary approach, which increases anyone’s capacity to learn. We will focus on implementing Equipping Minds during the school day in both small and large group settings, and examine individual implementation.

Registration includes the  Equipping Minds Cognitive Development Curriculum (teacher workbook),  Equipping Minds in the Classroom Videos, and two training days!  If you don’t have the Equipping Minds cards, you must purchase them, and I also recommend the EM Cards Course. You may also want to order student workbooks. Discuss special pricing with Dr. Brown for five or more student workbooks. If you are attending virtually, please have the Equipping Minds cards, unifix cubes, Yo Millard Fillmore, SET, Spot it Gone Camping or Spot it Animals, and Blink. If you are attending in person, Dr. Brown will have materials to use during the training.
