Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Easy-to-apply, scientifically-based approaches for engaging students in the classroom Cognitive scientist Dan Willingham focuses his acclaimed research on the biological and cognitive basis of learning. His book will help teachers improve their practice by explaining how they and their students think and learn. It reveals-the importance of story, emotion, memory, context, and routine in building knowledge and creating lasting learning experiences. Nine, easy-to-understand principles with clear applications for the classroom Includes surprising findings, such as that intelligence is malleable, and that you cannot develop "thinking skills" without facts How an understanding of the brain's workings can help teachers hone their teaching skills "Mr. Willingham's answers apply just as well outside the classroom. Corporate trainers, marketers and, not least, parents -anyone who cares about how we learn-should find his book valuable reading." —Wall Street Journal

Download or read book Listening to Able Underachievers written by Michael Pomerantz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a new contribution to raising attainment in secondary schools, with specific reference to able underachievers who are currently achieving C grades or less when they could be getting As. Standards are depressed each time a single able underachiever demonstrates a competence that is below his or her real potential. It lowers morale in that the progress of the whole school is reduced proportionately in line with the able pupils who aren't achieving their real potential, and resources are wasted every time these pupils start misbehaving or creating problems in school. This is a new and innovative approach, which is based on discussions with the pupils themselves and incorporates not just the usual basic subjects but also the creative areas of the curriculum and the wider community as a whole. Head teachers, senior managers, teachers and students, indeed all who are interested in raising standards and ensuring that pupils achieve their full potential will find this book to be an excellent resource.

Download or read book The Underachieving Gifted Child written by Del Siegle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-10-17 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are some gifted children willing to tackle new challenges whereas others seem insecure or uninterested? Why do some gifted students achieve while others become caught in a cycle of underachievement? Are there strategies teachers and parents can implement that promote an achievement-oriented attitude? The Underachieving Gifted Child: Recognizing, Understanding, and Reversing Underachievement answers these important questions. Although there are many factors that contribute to achievement, achievement-oriented students exhibit four key traits: they believe that they have the skills to perform well, they expect that they can succeed, they believe what they are doing is meaningful, and they set realistic expectations and implement strategies to successfully complete their goals. This book offers specific strategies to help increase student achievement by improving students' attitudes in these four important areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching Boys Who Struggle in School: Strategies That Turn Underachievers into Successful Learners responds to growing concerns about a crisis in boys' academic achievement. Kathleen Palmer Cleveland seeks to help K-12 educators cut through the hype to get at the real problem: who is underachieving, why are they struggling, and how can educators respond to these students' needs in new and productive ways? Cleveland presents findings from four large-scale studies about how boys learn best and combines these findings with insights about ongoing social and learning-style factors that affect learning in the classroom, plus lesson plans and anecdotes from real teachers working across all grade levels and subject areas. Cleveland's Pathways to Re-Engagement represents the culmination of her substantial research and personal experience. A flexible and practical framework for decision making in the classroom, the Pathways model seeks to * Replace the underachieving boy's negative attitudes about learning; * Reconnect each boy with school, with learning, and with a belief in himself as a competent learner; * Rebuild learning skills that lead to success in school and in life; and * Reduce the need for unproductive and distracting behaviors as a means of self-protection. Each aspect of the Pathways to Re-Engagement model offers educators a way to move underachieving boys from a position of weakness toward one of strength--giving them the tools to succeed in school and beyond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is concerned with the teaching and learning problems of those pupils who experience mild to moderate learning difficulties in the ordinary school. They may be found in special classes, in remedial departments or in the bottom band of the mainstream. Wherever they are, they are perceived as being low achievers. This is not always the case, in relation to their ability, but many will be performing below their potential, for a number of reasons. This book aims to refocus the view of failure and look at the problem in relation to the school, at the same time as suggesting ways and means of overcoming the problem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A review of the voluminous research in the field of teaching at-risk, low achieving elementary school students yields a number of practical, validated applications for classroom teachers. At-risk students should be identified early during their formative years, and social and academic enrichment programs should be implemented as soon as possible. School-based models can make an important difference with low achievers. The principal must provide the leadership to create an inviting, supportive learning environment for staff and students. The attitude of the classroom teacher is the key to program success. Successful teacher approaches must include the following: (1) communication of high expectations; (2) utilization of a variety of effective teaching strategies; (3) emphasis on the development of the total child. The appendix contains an extensive list of practical strategies divided by the following: (1) reading/writing/spelling; (2) social studies; (3) science; (4) mathematics; (5) adaptable to all subjects; and (6) motivation/self-concept. A 162-item bibliography is included. (FMW)
