This web site includes a paper called Education That Works: The Child is Always Right by E. L. Anderson. If the student learns the “wrong” thing or does not learn, he or she is, however, responding to what is taught. The child is not "wrong"; rather, the teaching was not what it should have been. This paper presents data showing that all children learn well with good teaching programs carried out correctly.
The Cambridge Center has also published books on educational practices, which are available for purchase in addition to many other publications. Descriptions, contents, and excerpts from the books are available on this web site.

The Morningside Model of Generative Instruction.

Johnson and Street describe a technology of instruction, based on scientific research, that has improved the academic performance of children, adolescents, and adults at 86 schools and agencies throughout the United States and Canada. The Morningside Model (of Generative Instruction) combines well-designed instructional materials, fast-paced classroom presentation, and focused practice to fluency. The result is expert and confident learners who apply skills and strategies to think about the world around them, continue to learn on their own, and solve problems of daily living.
