Why MITA?

Have you wondered how you can form community in your classroom? How you can draw out students' natural excitement for learning as active participants in any class?

It's not a matter of how much we teach, but how much we learn together. MITA shows how to build vibrant learning communities by unleashing unique gifts and abilities within every learner. The MITA International Renewal Center builds practical bridges that link learners and teachers across cultures, ages and genders. In MITA teachers become learners while learners teach at times. With MITA students bring more of their gifts and abilities to achieve deeper understanding of any topic. Rather than just another fad, MITA relies on solid facts about our brain's optimum potential. Developed from Howard Gardner's research in Multiple Intelligences, it asks not, "How smart am I?" but, ""How am I smart?"

To teach well, teachers must know and practice strategies generated from current research about how we learn best. Supporting and mentoring new teachers and sharing responsibility for school renewal is catching on in the most progressive schools. Our challenge is to support your vision. The MITA International Renewal Center provides brain based resources and opportunities to assist you to achieve secondary and higher education reform.
