Education That Works: The Child is Always Right What would happen if we assumed the student is always right? That it's the teaching not the students that needs revision? For thirty years, an unheralded group of ''behavior analysts'' have been doing just that! Their research has demonstrated that all students (''special ed,'' low IQ, disadvantaged, non-English speaking, many problem behavior students, most ''slow learners'' and many ''Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder'' (ADHD) children) can learn at roughly the same rate, though they begin and end at different levels. The following article explores the current teaching system and how effective methods of teaching can be applied to improve the education system. |

Magical Thinking Today many students believe they might make it even to enormous financial success just by luck, or by skill in sports, or by knowing the right people. It's a possibility promoted by contests on TV and in the news. So without incentives to focus attention on the learning at hand, many students become victims of magical thinking about success, and they develop unrealistic views of how luck will carry them through. |

Talking with Kids: The Early Years Even before your child can talk to you, what, how often, and how much you say to your child can have a profound impact on their language and learning abilities later. Researchers at the University of Kansas have found that the number and quality of the words a child hears in the early years of life have a tremendous impact on the fundamental circuits in the human brain. A child's vocabulary development is closely tied to their early language experiences and to their ability to think rationally, solve problems, and reason abstractly. |
