Book excerpt: The ABCs of Learning Issues is a valuable tool for parents to further their understanding of various learning disabilities and behaviors that they observe in their homes and hear about from their children's teachers. The information presented empowers parents to identify, recognize and rectify specific learning disabilities that are described in formal evaluations, on standardized tests, and in school environments. Written by Dana Stahl, M.ED., an educational consultant who overcame her own learning disabilities in early childhood to become an honor student and enjoy a successful career helping other families recognize and overcome their learning issues. The ABCs of Learning Issues: >Includes specific strategies and examples of clinical and educators definitions >Provides a global understanding of what these definitions mean >Identifies behaviors parents observe at home >Defines effective strategies to incorporate at school and at home >Has a robust 'Resources' section that includes a glossary, tips for parents to effectively communicate with their school, and a list of community organizations that can provide assistance. The ABCs of Learning Issues promotes a common language between parents and educators. It bridges the gap between the school and the home by demystifying the areas of concerns that educators observe in school and parents experience at home. Learning disabilities affects up to 20 percent of students between the ages of 3 and 21. Parents of these children often need help understanding the specific learning issues and the behaviors their children present, in addition to recognizing how their children's learning disability adversely affects his or her academic performance. With a thorough understanding of individual learning issues and a common dialogue, parents can develop a partnership with schools and be advocates to help their children reach their full academic, social and emotional potential.

This book was released on 2016-07-26 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected as one of NPR's Best Books of 2016, this book offers superior learning tools for teachers and students, from A to Z. An explosive growth in research on how people learn has revealed many ways to improve teaching and catalyze learning at all ages. The purpose of this book is to present this new science of learning so that educators can creatively translate the science into exceptional practice. The book is highly appropriate for the preparation and professional development of teachers and college faculty, but also parents, trainers, instructional designers, psychology students, and simply curious folks interested in improving their own learning. Based on a popular Stanford University course, The ABCs of How We Learn uses a novel format that is suitable as both a textbook and a popular read. With everyday language, engaging examples, a sense of humor, and solid evidence, it describes 26 unique ways that students learn. Each chapter offers a concise and approachable breakdown of one way people learn, how it works, how we know it works, how and when to use it, and what mistakes to avoid. The book presents learning research in a way that educators can creatively translate into exceptional lessons and classroom practice. The book covers field-defining learning theories ranging from behaviorism (R is for Reward) to cognitive psychology (S is for Self-Explanation) to social psychology (O is for Observation). The chapters also introduce lesser-known theories exceptionally relevant to practice, such as arousal theory (X is for eXcitement). Together the theories, evidence, and strategies from each chapter can be combined endlessly to create original and effective learning plans and the means to know if they succeed.
