Description
With this strategy-filled handbook, education professionals will learn what they can do to help students with mild disabilities -- from high school to post-high school -- develop academic skills in
- organization
- test-taking
- study skills
- note taking
- reading
- writing
- math
- advanced thinking
First, educators will work one-on-one with students to evaluate each student's learning style and individual needs. Then, for each of the areas listed above, educators will get a chapter with step-by-step cognitive learning strategies, case studies, and charts that summarize the steps as mnemonic devices. An overarching five-step model (the Active Learner Approach) for effective instruction helps teachers introduce these strategies to students, model the steps of the strategies for them, give students guided and independent practice applying the strategies to assignments, and assist students in generalizing the strategies to other subjects and settings.
With this easy-to-use guide, educators will be able to help students recognize their learning characteristics, apply strategies to meet the specific demands of their coursework independently, and reach their educational goals.

我的阅读史
By 洪子诚著本书是作者对自己多年来阅读经历的回想与叙述。在书里，他摆脱了学术体例与框架的约束，穿行于个人体验、情感流脉和时代细节，展示了自身性格和学术思想的形成过程。这种“个人小叙事”是对“文学史大叙事”的补充和阐释，也可以说是另一种更具生命感的文学史叙述。
