Summary

Although there are ample resources on how to teach reading, math,  science, or other types of academic content,there is comparatively  little guidance for teachers on how students learn and why. Can  intelligence be developed? Do teacher expectations shape student  learning? How can teachers help students work through challenging  learning situations on their own? This book is ifor any teacher who  has students who struggle and who wants learning to stick. The book  reveals, for example, that intelligence is largely the ability to  recognize and make connections--and that this ability is fluid and  modifiable.   Drawing from theory and research in learning, this book offers  clear, practical guidance along with inspirational ideas to show  how teachers can enable students to gain both the cognitive  competence and confidence needed to succeed academically. It  includes practices in the following areas:  --Developing perseverance and diligence in work habits  --Cultivating reasoning skills for problem solving  --Improving verbal and written expression  --Strengthening auditory and visual processing skills  --Building attention and focusing skills  --Developing reading, writing, and mathematical fluency  The book applies to any and all learners, including special  needs students, and is richly illustrated with stories, activities,  and examples from across the curricula.
