How in heaven’s name does someone BUILD A BRAIN! Please allow me to explain. In the late 1990’s, I was watching a webinar about teaching for intelligence. This very idea was counter to all I had been taught in college. Of course, intelligence is fixed - determined by the genes and early childhood. It can’t be “taught” or so I thought. But one man on the panel of child experts disagreed with everyone else. I saw his name was Reuven Feuerstein and he changed my life!

Welcome back Build A Brain friends! We are honored to bring you an intriguing interview with Msgr. James Gilg, a Catholic priest who became a principal at Father Flanagan High School, named for the founder of Boys Town, in Omaha, Nebraska. He successfully led the implementation of our famous Feuerstein program. The school, began in 1982, was envisioned as a haven for nontraditional high school students, the school catered to students who’d dropped out, became parents, worked full-time or otherwise didn’t achieve in traditional high schools. What an idea!
Stay for the end of the interview and listen to Msgr. Gilg's rap lyrics! Priceless!
