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.  \u003c\/p\u003e\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","brand":"Jossey-Bass","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45201641078935,"sku":"9780787987909","price":1834.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780787987909.webp?v=1769207949","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/revealing-minds-assessing-to-understand-and-support-struggling-learners-9780787987909","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
