America's Top Learning Expert Shows How Every Child Can Succeed

"Different minds learn differently," writes Dr. Mel Levine, one of the best-known education experts and pediatricians in America today. And that's a problem for many children, because most schools still cling to a one-size-fits-all education philosophy. As a result, these children struggle because their learning patterns don't fit the schools they are in.
In A Mind at a Time, Dr. Levine shows parents and others who care for children how to identify these individual learning patterns. He explains how parents and teachers can encourage a child's strengths and bypass the child's weaknesses. This type of teaching produces satisfaction and achievement instead of frustration and failure.
Different brains are differently wired, Dr. Levine explains. There are eight fundamental systems, or components, of learning that draw on a variety of neurodevelopmental capacities. Some students are strong in certain areas and some are strong in others, but no one is equally capable in all eight. Using examples drawn from his own extensive experience, Dr. Levine shows how parents and children can identify their strengths and weaknesses to determine their individual learning styles.
For example, some students are creative and write imaginatively but do poorly in history because weak memory skills prevent them from retaining facts. Some students are weak in sequential ordering and can't follow directions. They may test poorly and often don't do well in mathematics. In these cases, Dr. Levine observes, the problem is not a lack of intelligence but a learning style that doesn't fit the assignment. Drawing on his pioneering research and his work with thousands of students, Dr. Levine shows how parents and teachers can develop effective strategies to work through or around these weaknesses.
"It's taken for granted in adult society that we cannot all be 'generalists' skilled in every area of learning and mastery. Nevertheless, we apply tremendous pressure to our children to be good at everything. They are expected to shine in math, reading, writing, speaking, spelling, memorization, comprehension, problem solving...and none of us adults can" do all this, observes Dr. Levine. Learning begins in school but it doesn't end there. Frustrating a child's desire to learn will have lifelong repercussions. This frustration can be avoided if we understand that not every child can do equally well in every type of learning. We must begin to pay more attention to individual learning styles, to individual minds, urges Dr. Levine, so that we can maximize children's learning potential. In A Mind at a Time he shows us how.

An Educator's Call to Action

With public and political demand for educational accountability never higher, educators are under enormous pressure to raise students' scores on standardized achievement tests. Policymakers are backing large-scale, high-stakes testing programs as the best way to determine which schools are failing and which schools are succeeding, and the only way to ensure the quality of students' schooling.

Nonsense, says distinguished educator and author W. James Popham.

In The Truth About Testing: An Educator's Call to Action, Popham explores both the absurdity and the serious destructive consequences of today's testing programs. He uses actual items drawn from current standardized achievement tests to show what these tests really measure and why they should never be used to evaluate school quality or teacher ability.

But, Popham insists, there's a way out of this measurement mess. And it's up to educators to take the first steps. Throughout this commonsense and conversational resource, the author appeals to educators to build their own assessment literacy, spread the word about harmful testing, and reexamine how they use test data in the classroom. He provides


* Advice for distinguishing between sound and unsound large-scale tests.

* Guidelines to help teachers maximize the instructional benefits properly constructed classroom tests can bring.

* Evidence-gathering strategies for teachers and administrators trying to survive and thrive in an accountability-driven environment.


The book closes with a series of action items for educators interested in ending the score-boosting game, halting the erosion of educational quality, and establishing the kind of testing that can improve student learning.

A Life of Maria Montessori

Born in 1870 in Chiaravalle, Italy, Maria Montessori became a doctor at a time when female graduates in Italy provoked outright scandal. At around age 30, she was struck by the work being done with children from the slums of the San Lorenzo, and realised what she wanted to do with her life: change the school, and therefore the world, through a new approach to the child's mind. In spite of resistance, she established the influential Montessori Method, now practiced throughout the world. Based on original sources soruces written by Montessori herself, this is a thorough, nuanced portrait of an influential figure.

History

Integrative Arts Activities for Making Social Studies Meaningful

The arts fulfil a function that cannot be fulfilled in any other way. Learning through the arts enables students to 'walk a mile in the shoes' of the historical figures they are studying, to ask 'What if?' about the events they are studying, and to understand the human component to historical events. The arts enable teachers to read the variety of learner in classrooms every day, taking advantage of student interests and skills while respecting individual differences. The arts make learning personal and meaningful, foster communications, between and among students and teachers, and facilitate learning about other cultures. They are ideal strategies for use in social studies and humanities classrooms because of their ability to transmit information in an involving and entertaining way.
