About Spectrum Institute for Teaching and Learning

The Spectrum Institute for Teaching and Learning, under the auspices of the Lankler Family Foundation, is a non-profit organization created in 2005 under title 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service code of the United States for nonprofit corporations. The mission of the Spectrum Institute is to provide a center for people from around the world committed to improving quality teaching and schooling to come and work together. The central organizing theme undergirding the Institute, the reason for the Institute's existence, is to improve education through the Spectrum of Teaching Styles. The Spectrum Institute serves as a clearinghouse for information and research about a unifying theory that delineates an array of effective teaching and learning styles. The Institute is dedicated to the improvement of classroom learning through the understanding and implementation of quality alternative teaching-learning behaviors. Besides offering teachers a repertoire of alternative teaching and learning options from Command to Discovery, the Spectrum theory offers: a common language for dialogue that can lead to theoretically solid implementation practices; it provides a mechanism for change in education; and it provides a framework for valid and cumulative progress. The Institute provides a center for Spectrum research and development, workshops and training services for teachers and scholars, and an active website for the exchange of Spectrum information.
