Dr. Peter Eden, the President of Landmark College in Vermont, talked to Lon Woodbury, an educational consultant who hosts the Struggling Teens weekly radio show on L.A. Talk Radio, about how Landmark College was the first institution of higher learning to pioneer college degrees for students with LD (Learning Differences, Learning Disorders or Learning Disabilities).
Dr. Peter Eden
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.
What Makes A School Specializing In Providing College Degrees For Students With LD Different From Mainstream Colleges?
Dr. Eden shared with listeners why Landmark College's distinct and proven educational design to provide college degrees for students with LD was so successful. He touched upon many questions about the challenges faced by students with LD and he also offered a number of reasons why attending Landmark College ensured that they would graduate with a four-year baccalaureate degree.
Unlike mainstream colleges that may offer a program for students with LD, Landmark College focused only on students with LD. The 28 year success of the school was due to a number of factors, including students not feeling out of place in a large mainstream college and not getting distracted by a party atmosphere. In addition, the college uses integrated teaching methods for students with learning disabilities, ADHD, and ASD. Another factor contributing to student's success is the personalized attention students get. The college has worked out an ideal faculty-to-student ratio, with 200 teachers assisting 500 students.
Final Thoughts
Mothers and fathers whose children have struggled in mainstream colleges and universities send them to Landmark because of its cutting-edge educational model. Today, this unique school offers two and four-year diplomas. The school's training model was developed through extensive research to help all students quickly become confident, empowered, and effective learners. The College's purpose from the start has always been visionary: to offer college degrees for students with LD in the most realistic and pragmatic way possible.
