TEL.A.VISION, the proven Web 2.0 online curriculum that inspires youth to create and share visions of hope and possibility through personal “vision videos” released a white paper that documents the — importance of “neuroplasticity,” that thoughts can rewire the brain. This demonstrates the need to promote positive thoughts and eliminate negative thinking. When students envision hope and possibilities it attributes to them staying in school and graduating

TEL.A.VISION’s white paper was researched and written by Dr. Christy Chamber, Past President of the Council of Administrators for Special Education, Special Education Superintendent and renowned special education expert.

“ Our Special Ed students often see themselves as their disability,” said Dr. Christy Chambers. “TEL.A.VISION helps them see their “distinguished abilities” and by sharing their videos with teachers, friends and family gives them a support system to help them achieve their goals.”

TEL.A.VISION has proven to be successful with all students, but especially those at risk and those receiving special educations services. The program engages students in a meaningful way, allows their voices to be heard, has improved AYP and helps to decrease the dropout rate.

“The average TEL.A.VISION video is watched 73 times in a one year period. This “neuroplastic training” strengthens the brain through repetition, just like a weak muscle, and helps the brain to pay attention to daily occurrences that can help students achieve their goals,” stated George Johnson of TEL.A.VISION.

Our nation’s youth are dropping out of school at an alarming rate because they have no hope and do not see the relevance of the curriculum to their futures. It is important that we realize the impact on society of our youth with no hope who are dropping out of school.
