About Education
In today’s dynamic world, potential has become a more important commodity than knowledge or experience. The Feuerstein IInstitute operate several programs designed to identify candidates demonstrating the greatest potential to succeed in the classroom or workplace, by examining their ability to use and cope with information in various types of cognitive exercises.
The Process
Assessments and screenings begin with use of Feuerstein’s LPAD dynamic assessment, which measure a candidate’s cognitive processing by identifying their intellectual strengths and weaknesses. As learning is an important part of the examination process, the LPAD has proven to be most effective at deciphering the way a candidate learns, and their potential for further growth.
Often, the assessment process will include a personal interview with the candidate, to determine that their ambitions are in line with their demonstrated abilities. Some projects will also include Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment, which helps further develop the candidates thinking and learning strategies.
