Mind At A Time, A
Saturday, September 20th, 2008 by Book Guy | No Comments »
Different minds learn differently. That’s an issue for many children, because most schools still cling to a one-size-fits-all education philosophy. As a result, children struggle because their learning patterns don’t fit the schools they are in. Learning begins in schools, but it doesn’t end there. Frustrating a child’s desire to learn will have lifelong repercussions.
In A Mind at a Time, Dr. Mel Levine shows parents how to identify these individual learning patterns. He explains how parents and teachers can nurture a child’s strengths and deal effectively with weaknesses. This type of teaching produces satisfaction and achievement for all students.
There are eight fundamental systems of learning that draw on a variety of neurodevelop-mental capacities. Some students are strong in certain areas and some are strong in others, but no one is equally capable in all eight. Drawing from actual case studies, Dr. Levine shows how parents and children can identify their strengths and weaknesses to determine their individual ways of learning.
We must pay attention to individual learning patterns, to individual minds so that we can maximize children’s performance in school and in life. In A Mind at a Time, Dr. Levine shows us how.
