Under-Resourced Learners: 8 Strategies to Boost Student Achievement

This last week I attended a workshop called Under-Resourced Learners: 8 Strategies to Boost Student Achievement.  It was absolutely fabulous and entertaining.  This would make a fabulous book study for your campus.

In the book: Under-Resourced Learners identifies resources all students need and delivers proven practical strategies for building up these resources for every student in every school. Teachers and administrators will find a gold mine of best practices and interventions to help embed those success strategies in their curricula, and in the minds and lives of their students. 

You'll discover new ways to: 

~Assess student resources to determine the best strategies and interventions 

~Build mental, language, relationship, and other resources into your teaching

 ~Work more effectively with parents and community representatives 

~Increase support systems for all students and their families 

~Monitor every student s progress and adjust efforts to increase student performance
