Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do some children succeed while others fail? The story we usually tell about childhood and success is the one about intelligence: success comes to those who score highest on tests, from preschool admissions to SATs. But in How Children Succeed, Paul Tough argues that the qualities that matter most have more to do with character: skills like perseverance, curiosity, conscientiousness, optimism, and self-control. How Children Succeed introduces us to a new generation of researchers and educators who, for the first time, are using the tools of science to peel back the mysteries of character. Through their stories—and the stories of the children they are trying to help—Tough traces the links between childhood stress and life success. He uncovers the surprising ways in which parents do—and do not—prepare their children for adulthood. And he provides us with new insights into how to improve the lives of children growing up in poverty. Early adversity, scientists have come to understand, not only affects the conditions of children’s lives, it can also alter the physical development of their brains. But innovative thinkers around the country are now using this knowledge to help children overcome the constraints of poverty. With the right support, as Tough’s extraordinary reporting makes clear, children who grow up in the most painful circumstances can go on to achieve amazing things. This provocative and profoundly hopeful book has the potential to change how we raise our children, how we run our schools, and how we construct our social safety net. It will not only inspire and engage readers, it will also change our understanding of childhood itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newton Education Group presents Study Skills: 50 Strategies for Success. The self-guided activities in this program will help students acquire and practice effective learning strategies that will last a lifetime. Each lesson develops skills related to a specific study strategy. The lessons are organized in such a way that each new skill builds off a previous skill. Scaffolding instruction in this way reinforces what has been learned, building confidence as students develop and apply new skills. Students will also develop metacognitive awareness of their own learning styles and strengths, enabling them to personalize their learning experiences and adapt study methods to the way they process information best.By the time students finish Study Skills, 50 Strategies for Success, they will have learned 50 essential strategies to improve all areas of their learning, such as how to take notes, manage homework, write reports, set goals, using reference materials, managing text anxiety, and how to prepare for various kinds of testing and testing formats. There are two levels to the Study Skills: 50 Strategies for Success program. Book 1 is tailored for students in grades 3 through 5 (or students in upper grades who need more skill building or need to work at a gentler pace). Book 2 is tailored for students in grades 6 through 8 and builds off of level one, providing greater challenge; extending concepts. The self-guided structure of the program allows for easy integration into any existing curriculum. Each book in the Study Skills: 50 Strategies for Success program is divided into 10 units. Each unit focuses on a particular set of strategies, such as classroom preparation, organizing assignments, and setting goals. Student Resources within each book can be used throughout the school year to strengthen writing and editing skills. An answer key is included at the end of each book. Students complete each unit in the order presented or you may customize the program to meet individual student's needs. Options for Targeted Instruction: After students complete a comprehensive self-assessment. The self-assessment allows student to evaluate their approaches to learning and studying and is an effective metacognitive tool for self-discovery. It allows students to discover first-hand where changes need to be made and the motivation to make the necessary adjustments. For the teacher, the completed assessment reveals where improvements are needed in order to target specific study-skills instruction for each and every student. The categories of questions in the Student Self-Assessment align with the units in Study Skills: 50 Strategies for Success. This allows the teacher to readily determine which specific strategies to target. Targeted instruction allows for flexibility in the classroom and complements a variety of classroom strategies, such as differentiated instruction and personalized learning. Completed assessments can be placed in a student portfolio where it can be later used to show progress over time after study-skills instruction has been initiated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-published with and Miriam, a freshman Calculus student at Louisiana State University, made 37.5% on her first exam but 83% and 93% on the next two. Matt, a first year General Chemistry student at the University of Utah, scored 65% and 55% on his first two exams and 95% on his third—These are representative of thousands of students who decisively improved their grades by acting on the advice described in this book.What is preventing your students from performing according to expectations? Saundra McGuire offers a simple but profound answer: If you teach students how to learn and give them simple, straightforward strategies to use, they can significantly increase their learning and performance. For over a decade Saundra McGuire has been acclaimed for her presentations and workshops on metacognition and student learning because the tools and strategies she shares have enabled faculty to facilitate dramatic improvements in student learning and success. This book encapsulates the model and ideas she has developed in the past fifteen years, ideas that are being adopted by an increasing number of faculty with considerable effect.The methods she proposes do not require restructuring courses or an inordinate amount of time to teach. They can often be accomplished in a single session, transforming students from memorizers and regurgitators to students who begin to think critically and take responsibility for their own learning. Saundra McGuire takes the reader sequentially through the ideas and strategies that students need to understand and implement. First, she demonstrates how introducing students to metacognition and Bloom’s Taxonomy reveals to them the importance of understanding how they learn and provides the lens through which they can view learning activities and measure their intellectual growth. Next, she presents a specific study system that can quickly empower students to maximize their learning. Then, she addresses the importance of dealing with emotion, attitudes, and motivation by suggesting ways to change students’ mindsets about ability and by providing a range of strategies to boost motivation and learning; finally, she offers guidance to faculty on partnering with campus learning centers.She pays particular attention to academically unprepared students, noting that the strategies she offers for this particular population are equally beneficial for all students. While stressing that there are many ways to teach effectively, and that readers can be flexible in picking and choosing among the strategies she presents, Saundra McGuire offers the reader a step-by-step process for delivering the key messages of the book to students in as little as 50 minutes. Free online supplements provide three slide sets and a sample video lecture.This book is written primarily for faculty but will be equally useful for TAs, tutors, and learning center professionals. For readers with no background in education or cognitive psychology, the book avoids jargon and esoteric theory.
