PARENTS, WE NEED YOU!

Since 1950, The Howard School has believed that the best education is informed by the best available research. Implementation science brings current discoveries in learning, language, cognition, and instruction directly into our classrooms, giving students and teachers access to emerging practices and ideas. By participating in research, Howard families help us continually strengthen and enrich the learning experience for our students. This work continues a 75-year tradition of asking important questions, testing what works, and using science to help every student learn more effectively. Join The Howard School on Tuesday, Sept. 1 or Thursday, Sept. 3, at 8:15 a.m. for a quick conversation to learn how to allow your child to participate in exciting arts events and NeuroArts research opportunities.
