Many of the programs working with us began with a study group reading our book, Tools of the Mind: The Vygostskian Approach to Early Childhood Education. You can also get together and read research articles on the development of self-regulation and executive functions skills.
Some programs write grants to cover the training and materials costs, so this is an option. Other programs do a tiered rollout of Tools, beginning with Tools in a few classrooms with teachers who are invested and interested, building in more classrooms over the course of several years.
This can be a good way to launch Tools in a program. We also have an annual scholarship, the Carolyn Boyles Scholarship, awarded to one classroom each year, covering the cost of training, and encourage you to apply! In the meantime, you can still get started!

It includes literacy, math and science — but with a Tools twist; we embed self-regulation and executive functions practice in the design of our activities. In Tools Kindergarten program, we do have an option to integrate district math curricula into our approach, but our research to date has been on the complete Tools program implemented across all activities and teaching practices.

My husband has had to endure hours of listening to me stress about this. Tell me exactly what I have to do to give my kid a jump start. I know I worry way too much about this.

A few years ago, my husband and I were discussing the possibility of homeschooling her. Of course, I dove into a black hole of things I could put in our homeschooling classroom. We have since changed our minds and decided to send her to school. But most days I am fine with our decision. Mama is looking forward to some me time.
