FOSTERING INDEPENDENT LEARNING
Practical Strategies to Promote Student Success
by Virginia Smith Harvey & Louise A. Chickie-Wolfe
© 2007
Accessible, practical, and empowering, this book gives school professionals the tools to put students in charge of their own learning. Going beyond traditional “study skills” guides that focus on the mechanics of homework completion and test taking, the authors address the underlying psychological factors that influence academic success and lifelong learning. They provide step-by-step guidance and data-based interventions for helping each student develop a repertoire of problem-solving strategies in the areas of motivation, emotional responses to learning, behavior, time management, organization, memory, reading, writing, math, and more. In a large-size format with lay-flat binding to facilitate photocopying, the volume includes dozens of reproducible handouts and forms.

DIFFERENTIATED ASSESSMENT
How to Assess the Learning Potential in Every Student
by Evangeline Harris Stefanakis
© 2011
This book describes a comprehensive assessment system especially appropriate for multilingual and “differentiated” classrooms with large numbers of underperforming students. Drawing from Multiple Intelligences theory, the approach is specifically aimed at helping teachers understand how each student learns and how best to tailor instruction to serve individual students’ needs. Although the program makes use of conventional standardized tests and disability screenings, it places special importance on two approaches in particular: Student Portfolio Assessments and Personalized Learning Profiles.
It provides detailed guidance and practical tools (including a DVD) for implementing successful portfolio and “profile” practices in the classroom. Also included are real-world examples of model assessment programs from five schools and explanations on how to integrate assessment into the instructional process as well as how the portfolio program can be used.
Formal profiles provide vital information about each student’s cultural background, interests, strengths, and capabilities as well as their individual learning and language needs. Grades 6-12
