Presentations

Dr. Branton Shearer presents on many different topics to a wide variety of audiences including teachers (all types and grade levels), counselors, parents, school administers and psychologists. Special topics are available upon request. He often creates customized presentations to fit the interests and concerns of the audience. His popular mini-workshops are usually two (2) hours long. Here, participants complete The MIDAS™ prior to the session. A one-hour interactive Power Point presentation provides an in-depth understanding of the multiple intelligences followed by interpretation of participants' individual MIDAS™ Profiles.
