Learning and Learning Difficulties: A Handbook for Teachers

This outstanding new teacher resource from bestselling author Peter Westwood explores a variety of learning processes, theories and concepts in order to help educators better understand and distinguish between the causes and outcomes of student learning problems.

Westwood aims to show that problems in learning are not all due to weaknesses within students or their lack of motivation. Many learning difficulties are created or exacerbated by environmental, not personal, influences. Factors that have an impact on a student’s learning environment can be readily modified or improved, whereas weaknesses or ‘deficits’ within students are not so easily changed.

 

Osteopathy: Models for Diagnosis, Treatment and Practice

This book is a textbook of basic osteopathic concepts, working from first principles underpinned by anatomy and physiology. This text will synthesize and integrate osteopathic models in an easy-to-understand way, a subject often daunting to students and confusing to graduates. Composed of four sections, the first is a discussion of basic principles, the second focusses on models and diagnosis of treatment which is followed by anatomical, neurophysiological and osteopathic considerations. The last section describes clinical case-studies to enable students to put into practice the theories and models which they have learned.

Simon's Saga for the SAT

Completely revised to reflect the current SAT test format, Simon's Saga for the SAT literally takes a "novel" approach to building students' verbal skills. Simon, a very cool college dude, shows college-bound kids around campus, introducing them to academic and social life. In the process, he helps them expand their vocabulary and develop overall verbal fluency. Simon emphasizes words and meanings students should know as they prepare to take the SAT. All new words to learn in Simon's story are printed in boldface type--your signal to check their definitions and correct usage. The boldface words appear with meanings and cross-references in a glossary at the back of the book.

Graham Tyrer demonstrates that students have positive leadership abilities, and they can be taught how to use these abilities and then to teach others. Students want to be trusted and challenged, even when it looks like they don't! Leadership gives them a sense that they have something to offer, and that their experiences can be useful and helpful to others. Even the most disruptive, difficult student is showing leadership qualities - it's just not in the right direction, yet.
