Praise for Power Brain Programs
“As a principal who has successfully turned a struggling school from a “D” to an “A,” I have found the Brain Power program to be a truly transformational system for my staff and students. At times, it has been difficult to encourage different groups within the school to work together. The Brain Power program has facilitated a sense of collaborative teamwork, which has improved relationships and promoted the family atmosphere essential to teacher and student success. It is creating a supportive community of caring. With this positive environment, group decision making becomes easier as people are more open to new ideas. We recently celebrated this culture of health, happiness, and peace with our schoolwide “HSP Day” event. We look forward to implementing Brain Power programs at PS 1X as we continue to make great gains in our academic and social progress.”
– Jorge Perdomo, Principal, PS 1X

“The Brain Power program is helping my teachers and students to manage their stress, increase concentration, and develop the internal efficacy to create peaceful ways to interact with themselves and others.”
– Reva Gluck Schneider, Principal, PS 144Q

“The Brain Power program is a necessary tool to align positive energy in daily life. It fosters building healthy minds, bodies, and citizens of the earth for a better tomorrow. Brain Power rocks!”
– Harriet Diaz, Principal, IS 192Q

“The Brain Power program assists me as a leader to create a school environment that is positive and collaborative. The dynamic activities that this program teaches can transform the way leaders, teachers, and students interact with each other to build trust and meaningful relationships so that the magic of teaching and learning can happen effectively.”
– Deborah Sanabria, Principal, JHS 162X

“The most direct impact I see is the change in the attitude of our teachers. We are more collaborative and use Brain Power language to support each other. We are also able to support ourselves. When we make a mistake, we keep a more positive frame of mind. This positive, confident mindset is transferring to the students, who thoroughly enjoy and look forward to all our Brain Power activities.”
– Bernice Acevedo, Principal, Lenox Elementary Baldwin, NY

“The Brain Power program provides great tools in which students can exercise their ability to feel confident, positive, and healthy. Our schools are grateful for taking part in the Brain Power program and working alongside such an amazing group of leaders.”
– Wendy Soto, Guidance Counselor, MS 29
