Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment Programme -LEVEL 1 & LEVEL 2 in March 2011

Once Again by Popular Demand

Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment Programme

Level 1: 7 Instruments - 6th to 13th March 2011

An Eight-Day Intensive Workshop covering the first 7 instruments

By Prof. Louis H. Falik, Certified Trainer, International Centre for the Enhancement of Learning Potential (ICELP), Jerusalem.

THE FEUERSTEIN INSTRUMENTAL ENRICHMENT PROGRAM [FIE] is based on the concepts developed by internationally renowned Israeli Psychologist Prof. Reuven Feuerstein, whose work with children affected by the Holocaust resulted in the setting up of the International Centre for the Enhancement of the Learning Potential. This intervention program is based on the belief that intelligence is modifiable and not fixed, and is designed to enhance the cognitive skills necessary for independent thinking. IE aims to sharpen critical thinking with the concepts, skills, strategies, operations, and attitudes necessary for independent learning; to diagnose and correct deficiencies in thinking skills; and to help individuals "learn how to learn".

IE can be used with students in classrooms and individual diverse populations ranging from low-functioning performers to gifted underachievers. The program aims at correcting deficient cognitive functions and enhancing the individual's capacity to learn more effectively from direct exposure in formal as well as informal learning situations.

The IE Level I Programme being offered by MDA in March 2011 introduces the first seven instruments out of a series of fourteen, in line with the international pattern, as follows:



1. Organisation of Dots
