LD Learning SERVICES

Ten years ago, I co-founded a research and development company in applied cognitive science. We partnered with more than a dozen schools and clinics across the US and abroad, offering a proprietary methodology for optimizing cognition, primarily for educators and clinicians to deliver to school-age learners. In order to scale while ensuring the effectiveness of our methods, I designed and delivered a comprehensive 40-hour blended learning training for educators and clinicians. Some highlights of my experience include: - Developed proprietary methods for optimizing cognition - Designed, delivered and oversaw the quality of delivery of trainings and services in the US and abroad - Co-developed a proprietary iOS App and Online Platform to support the quality and scaling of our methods - Authored and created several courses on the Science of Learning (for educators, professionals, and students), which included authoring and voice recording for a series of animated learning videos, overseeing a small team of animators, authoring lessons on misunderstood learning science topics, and developing engaging methods for facilitating and assessing learning

- Consulting on learning and development department needs - Conducting needs assessments - Identifying appropriate training models - Delivering engaging and highly effective trainings - Content development, including: manuals, training materials, learning aids - Measuring training/learning outcomes - Implementing ongoing development and coaching Other - Developing processes to ensure the effectiveness and scaling of small companies/departments - Project management for custom tech solutions including iOS apps and online platforms - Leadership and management of small to medium size teams
