The Brainology® program teaches the growth mindset - the view of intelligence as malleable. Students come to see effort as a positive quality needed for anyone to achieve his or her full potential. They come to understand how to approach studying and learning in ways that make their brains smarter. They learn how to approach success and learn from failure.
1. Purchase the number of student licenses needed, and we will send you instructions to set up the students' accounts. If the purchase was made via PO, check, or order form, orders are typically processed in 2-3 business days of our receipt of the order. Purchasing options can be reviewed on the Purchasing page. 2. Create a class for your students in My Account --> My Students. Click "Add a New Class" and then enter a class name. 3. Click "Add Students" and follow the instructions to register your students. You can either use Option 1: Student Self-Enrollment, or Option 2: Teacher Created Pre-Made Accounts. Follow the instructions on the page to complete.
Implementation time and schedule are flexible, but we recommend spacing the online lessons at least one week apart and scheduling 45-60 minutes of additional class activities between each online lesson. Therefore, the recommended classroom time to allow for your Brainology implementation is 2-4 hours per week for 5-16 weeks. The total time for the program will be between 15-20 hours. You can view a sample 10 week implementation schedule and a blank planning calendar in our Sample Implementation and Curriculum Guide.
MindsetMaker™ online components take a total of 6 to 10 hours total (depending on level of engagement). It can be done in short (20-30 min.) sessions or in longer sessions, and it can be done by individual teachers or by teams of teachers looking to align on everyday teaching & learning practices that foster a growth mindset. It’s recommended not to try to do it all in one day. Ideally, you’d do a unit a week and put what you learn into practice in-between.
The cost is $60 per educator or $1500 for a one academic year full site license. A site license provides access for all educators at one school site for one academic year.
