SO WHO AM I?
Hi, I am Mary Pat Correro. I have been in the field of education over thirty years as a special education teacher, Learning Disabilities Teacher Consultant and director of Child Study Team services mostly in New Jersey. Aside from this, I am a writer for South Jersey Mom magazine, Learning2Learn column. Through my writing I educate, empower and support parents and educators in learning about the most current research and truth about learning issues! I have provided workshops, and training on learning disabilities, family and adult literacy and advocacy through multimedia resources.
I have always been frustrated with the "status quo" approach to working with kids with learning difficulties. I watched the "square peg (child) in the round hole (curriculum/school)" method and "numbers game" used with these children in schools. I never saw a passion or desire to find out better ways or anyone willing to stand up with me and say "No, there has got to be a better way!" or "How can we better serve these children and their families?" The process of evaluating children for learning disabilities was very much a numbers game, not a truly diagnostic nor analytical assessment of children! The only way I could implement the research based, effective approaches to learning difficulties and speak the truth to families was to leave the system!
When I was a Director of Special Services at a public school system before I opened the Center in 2002, a colleague wrote to me "Thank you for your willingness to push the edge of the envelope. Thanks for daring to challenge ordinary assumptions. Thanks for being willing to walk down the right path even when everyone has told you it's wrong. The children here need people like you"... B.L. Social Worker, 1999
This gave me the impetus to do what I knew needed to be done!
I left public education with the intention of finding a better way and I found it! It is my firm belief that "status Quo" sees limitations. Solutions and Success are born of spoken possibilities. Had the Wright brothers listened to the "naysayers" there would not be flights around the world and man would never have landed on the moon!
Without questioning educational systems that fail to seek what current research on the brain and learning have to say our children are doomed to be stuck as "dependent learners" who never reach their potential in life!
I opened the Center For Learning Enhancement,LLC in response to the tremendous need for solutions that reflected the most current research in learning. The Center's mission is to support parents in educating their children and overcoming the obstacles to learning that interfere with reaching their potential in life. Through unique, holistic, non-traditional and scientifically proven and approved approaches to cognitive, learning and attention difficulties, underdeveloped skills are improved so that students can think, learn and function effectively in school and in everyday life! Our programs are science based and "kid friendly". We provide real solutions to the real problems behind learning and attention issues. The major resource critical to learning solutions is called Structure of Intellect Systems. It is the "science of learning" based on over 60 years of research by Dr JP Guilford and Drs. Robert and Mary Meeker, and has shown great success in hundreds of schools and learning centers throughout the U.S. In addition I provide advocacy services to parents and children.
GET THIS! For the first time since I've been in education do I see children become independent learners, get over their learning difficulties, start reading despite being in special ed. for years, no longer needing accommodations. And I hear from parents how their family life has improved! A sister of one of our students said her brother is not angry and fighting with her like he used to!
Structure of Intellect System has proven that:
- Intelligence is not fixed
- How children learn, making sure that they can learn well is as important (if not moreso!) than what they learn
- The specific learning abilities required for children to learn successfully and easily have been mapped out!
- The Nationally normed Structure of Intellect Test of Learning Abilities identifies weaknesses in these skills
- It is the only test of intelligence that provides real solutions through a specific training plan that will develop these abilities and resolve- not accommodate- resolve learning disabilities!
