Peter Eden is the president of Landmark College in Vermont. He spoke with Lon Woodbury, host of an educational program about struggling teens on L.A. Talk Radio, about how Landmark was the first organization of higher learning to pioneer college degrees for students with LD (Learning Disabilities).
Dr. Peter Eden's Bio
Before serving as President of Landmark College, Dr. Eden was Dean of Arts and Sciences as well as a Professor of Biotechnology at Endicott College in Massachusetts. He also worked as a tenured Associate Professor and Chair of the Science Department at Marywood University, which is located in Pennsylvania. After graduating with a B.S. in microbiology at the University of Massachusetts, located at Amherst, he completed his Ph.D. in microbiology from the University of New Hampshire. His post-doctoral training in molecular and cellular neurobiology was done as a Research Fellow at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Prior to working as a professional teacher in the university system, Dr. Eden was a biochemist in the bio-pharmaceutical sector.
How Does A School That Offers College Degrees for Students with LD Work?
In the hour-long interview with Lon Woodbury, Dr. Eden shared insights about how Landmark's special academic model to offer college degrees for students with LD worked. He addressed the various difficulties of LD as well as offered a variety of reasons why enrollment in his college continued to increase each year.
Unlike mainstream colleges and universities that may provide a program for pupils with LD, Landmark College is designed specifically for pupils with LD. The 28 year success of the school is due to a number of very good reason: LD students don't feel isolated as they would in a mainstream university and they are not likely to get sidetracked by a party setting. Moreover, the college uses special teaching and training techniques for students with learning differences and disabilities, ADHD, and ASD. An additional factor helping students with LD is the individualized focus and attention that they get. The university has actually worked out a suitable faculty-to-student proportion, with 200 instructors helping 500 enrolled students
Summary
College kids who have actually struggled in mainstream colleges attend Landmark College because of its ingenious educational model. Today, the college is able to offer both two and four-year diplomas. It uses a teaching model that was developed and refined through study and research to help any student with LD to become positive, confident, and independently successful. The goal of Landmark from the beginning has been crystal clear: to offer college degrees for students with LD in the most effective way possible.
