Hi,

My name is Diane Montgomery and I am using Active Learning in Indio,
CA. I would like to meet all of you!! I have been using Active
Learning for about four years. It has transformed my students into
learners!!! I teach children with develomental delays usually
cognitively functioning under two years reguardless of their
chronological age. Typically my students do not progress a lot at
school, but by using the active learning curriculum, I am able to
document very specific growth. Both parents and administrators love
it. Many of my students acquire one to two hundred skills within one
year. Many of these skills are difficult to recognize without Dr.
Nielsen's assessment. I have two students who are actually learning
to
walk now. I have done extensive work with using the assessment and
curriculum, aligning it to the district standards, writing IEP's,
etc.
I have taught Active Learning at Chapman last year in the teacher
credentially program. I am open to any questions that you may have.
If I do not have a clue as to the answer, I will look for one. I
would
like to get this group up and going, so please share your Active
Learning challenges and successes. Hope to year from you soon. Diane
