Breakthrough Training Institute materials
Breakthrough Training Institute courses have been adapted by Norma Neumann-Johnson, incorporating her experience as an educator and certified mindfulness instructor, the latest brain-based strategies of neuroscientist Dr. Dan Siegel and the restorative discipline practices of Dr. Ron Claassen and his wife Roxane. Student courses are based on Mindful Schools, Emeryville, CA, curricula for elementary and adolescent children.
