Course Description
Provide insights into what great teachers do differently. Imagine teachers who teach with their strengths and understand
talent to manage innovation in the classroom. We are at the crossroads of a major breakthrough in thinking that can
accelerate creativity by teachers who use this knowledge to promote their own development and that of their students and
colleagues. All teachers can improve their performance by making the most of their innate talents. Your best chance to
innovate is when breakthrough insights occur at novel intersections in an enduring principle of creativity. When educators
discover and leverage their talents in the class room, the whole school benefits. Developing the innate talents of your
innovative teachers can improve outcomes that matter, such as teacher engagement and retention and student
achievement and well-being and how these affect a student’s learning and behavior in the classroom.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Ardys Reverman is called Dr. Ardy by her peers and associates. Dr. Ardy has a Ph.D. in a very hot new field. Psycho-
Neuro-Immunology (P.N.I.), and in the path of fellow PNI professionals such as Depok Chopra, is using her background
as an author and speaker to influence audiences nation-wide. Before her work in P.N.I. she was an NLP specialist and
before that a Learning Disability Specialist AND before that a "mom" bothered by the varied learning styles of each of her
children. Not too long ago, Dr. Ardy introduced the "Synergy Pals" as a method of understanding whole-brain thinking. We
make a good learning fit with each other when we nurture natural talents. She presents humor with a message. She
believes that influence, the capacity to shift a persons perceptions, emotions and actions, is the single most important skill
we can master to increase the quality of our lives as well as the lives of all those we have the privilege to touch. Dr. Ardy
believes life produces extraordinary rewards for those who give in extraordinary ways. She challenges us to make a joint
commitment today, to participate together with a new level of intensity and passion, a level that goes far beyond anything
we've ever done before. She challenges us to begin the process of taking our lives to the next level. How? Welcome this
power simply by helping each other in the spirit of service, with love and laughter.
