Dzaldov, B: Ready, Set, Learn

For the vast majority of students, the skills and work habits that are crucial for successful learning are not in place when they arrive at the school door. These skills must be explicitly taught by teachers who recognize the unique learning styles, preferences, and interests of their students. Ready, Set, Learn focuses on the importance of encouraging students to set their own personal learning goals and persevere to achieve them. Along with organizers, prompts, and specific activities, this timely book includes lessons that explicitly teach organization, collaboration, communication, independence, memory, and initiative.
