Students, parents and employees wanting to overcome learning blocks now have an opportunity to do so at a number of "BrainBOOSTER™ workshops" to be held in St. Paul on November 20 and Two Hills on November 21. Sponsored workshops for school students will be-in the week of November 23.

Educator Tonia Chrapko, formerly of Two Hills and "Chief Energizing Officer" and facilitator of the workshops, is a former teacher whose professional experience includes curriculum development and teaching at the University level in Japan, and teaching the French Immersion programs in Alberta.

"With what we know about the brain and how it works, it is important to learn the tools and techniques that will unlock our potential," says Chrapko. "Our goal is to show people how to make learning easier and more fun."

With that philosophy in mind, she founded, her own company in Calgary called Toolbox Training Educational Services which specializes in whole brain learning, Toolbox Training is currently working with schools and is building a sponsorship program with local businesses. Supporting her program in Two Hills are the Ag Society and the UofA. 

Chrapko expIains that the one-day BrainBOOSTER™ workshop teaches the most comprehensive. thorough approach to learning, ever. Past workshop participants have learned how to study smarter - not harder by using tools, techniques, methods, skills, ideas, examples, illustrations, processes, procedures and resources to accelerate their learning.

Chrapko says the real bonus of the BrainBOOSTER™ workshop is good learning habits, which lead to good career opportunities. "Because life-long job security is no longer a reality, those who learn faster and more effectively have the advantage," she says. "The BrainBOOSTER™ workshop is about working with the greatest information processing tool known to mankind: the human mind. Think of the benefits for you, for the community."
