Peter J. Gamlin Ph.D., C.Psych. - Chairman

Dr. Gamlin is Professor Emeritus and senior researcher, in the Department of Adult Education, Community Development and Counselling Psychology, the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto. His work spans 34 years of specialization in educational psychology, child development and adult education. Dr. Gamlin’s interests have centered on the learning, teaching process using assessments of potential and achievement as a means to prepare students for instruction. In this work, following Vygotsky, the core understanding is that ‘learning leads development’.  He has written articles and books on this subject. He was co-founder  and co-editor of The International Journal of Dynamic Assessment and Instruction. Most recently Dr. Gamlin and his students have begun a collaborative inquiry into ethnic identity development using personal reflections and issues raised by first and second-generation individuals. He is also currently involved with students in collaborative inquiry exploring the meaning of creative lifelong learning.  Dr. Gamlin is actively working with Aboriginal colleagues in the Department of Adult Education to establish an Aboriginal education research centre.  Projects underway inquire into Aboriginal literacy programs to determine to what extent they are culturally appropriate.  Dr. Gamlin is currently working closely with Aboriginal communities, using his expertise in the fields of teaching, learning and adult education, to help deliver culturally appropriate services to families and children.  Dr. Gamlin is a Registered Psychologist with the Ontario College of Psychologists.

Recently Dr Gamlin has published two refereed books and several refereed chapters exploring his long-term career interest in adaptive instruction and strategies for enhancing the learning potential of adults and children.   He has most recently focused these interests, applying them to Aboriginal communities and culture.

Dr. Michael Luther
 
Michael Luther completed his Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral Studies at York University in Toronto. He is a Registered Psychologist in private practice and a supervising psychologist at The Women’s College Hospital in Toronto. Dr. Luther is co-author of the books Genie in the Lamp and Dynamic Assessment for Instruction. Dr. Luther has presented theoretical and research papers at conferences and has lectured extensively on best assessment practices and effective programming techniques for needy students. He is cofounder and coeditor of the International Journal of Dynamic Assessment and Instruction, which promotes holism in education, culture-fair assessment practices and appropriate teaching for disadvantaged minority children. Contributors come from a variety of disciplines and countries. He has also presented on counselling techniques in South Africa for the post-apartheid period. Dr. Luther has taught for Nipissing University, Nova University (Fort Lauderdale, Florida) and The Catholic University (Santiago, Chile). He has also worked as a school psychologist in Israel.
 
Dr. Luther has taught Education and Psychology for 20 years at York University. He was formerly (2002/03) Kumon Canada’s National Spokesman. He has done the “Feuerstein” cognitive training method for 21 years and was a Canadian representative ofthe Hadassah-WIZO-Canada Research Institute in Jerusalem. He has taught thinking skills to exceptional children (e.g., P.D.D., retarded, and slow learners). Additionally, he has developed similar materials (for young children) for the North York Board, which are being used in places such as England and Germany. Soon these materials will be utilized in schools throughout Chile as part of a UNESCO/CIDA project. Dr. Luther worked as a school psychologist with the Toronto District School Board for 23 years.
 
“My main area of interest has been in helping disadvantaged students to improve their ability to learn and benefit from formal instruction. This also relates to the assessment of learning potential; whenever possible I have tried to avoid the administration of I.Q. tests and have employed alternative means of assessing minority children. I have written a textbook on this issue and have lectured extensively on the misuse of standardized tests and labels.”
