Brain Power: Mindset as a Key to Success.
Parents and the education system
The approach we use to address problem solving is, among other things, what determines whether we succeed or fail. This approach is made up of the reasons we attribute to our success, and the belief in our ability to change them. Our attitude can be changed, and with it the odds of success!

Advanced training for the education system
Needs identification and unique adjustment
Parenting Isn’t Child's Play:
Parent-School Relations.
The educational act requires cooperation among all the significant adults in children's lives, first and foremost parents and teachers. The fabric of the relationship between parents and teachers is critical for promoting the best interests of the children and requires going beyond issues such as involvement versus intervention, and structuring mechanisms such as parent leadership.
This further education course will deal with the field of parenting and understanding the psychological infrastructure of the subject, confronting the teachers with parenting as they experience it themselves, promoting teacher-parent dialogue skills, and imparting practical tools for structuring teacher-parent dialogue through role play, simulation, sharing, and discussion.
Empathic Authority:
Being a Significant Adult in a Child's World
the Empathic Authority program deals with the unique combination between the teacher as a relevant authority figure in the student's life and structuring empathic relations and a relationship between teacher-student and parents.
The program is based on the latest psychological research in education, which identifies the empathy factor as a key component in relationships and as a variable that has a dramatic impact on student functioning at the academic, emotional and social levels, on the motivation to learn, reduction of dropout rates, and development of an empathic culture among students.
The program provides an opportunity for teachers to experience empathy and closeness in the group setting and provides practical tools for action based on experience of an empathic approach, structuring meaningful relationships with students, parents and colleagues, and promoting an empathic policy in the classroom and school.
