Whereas most assessments of struggling learners focus on what is \"broken\" within a student and needs to be fixed, All Kinds of Minds has adopted a more positive and comprehensive approach to the process. Rather than labeling children or categorizing them into certain pre-defined groups, their optimistic and helpful path creates a complete picture (or \"profile\") of each student, outlining the child's assets along with any weaknesses, and identifying specific breakdown points that lead to problems at school. \u003cp\u003eThe process of assessment should be able to answer a question such as, \"Why is my son struggling with reading?\" with a better answer than, \"Because he has a reading disability.\" \u003ci\u003eRevealing Minds\u003c\/i\u003e shows how to discover hidden factors--such as language functioning, memory ability, or attention control--that are impeding a student's learning. It goes beyond labels and categories to help readers understand what's really going on with their students and create useful learning plans.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProviding scores of real-life examples, definitions of key terms, helpful diagrams, tables, and sample assessments, Pohlman offers a useful roadmap for educators, psychologists, and other professionals to implement the All Kinds of Minds approach in their own assessments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Craig Pohlman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0787987905\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780787987909\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jossey-Bass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 7.08w x 1.03d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2009","brand":"Craig Pohlman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926054306047,"sku":"9780787987909","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_826af2b6-e443-421d-92ce-789d2577e367.jpg?v=1681080933","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/revealing-minds-craig-pohlman-9780787987909","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
