'This book seamlessly blends theory with practical, real-life
applications and activities that can be completed quickly and
easily in both school and homemmunity settings. This encourages a
partnership between all stakeholders to help students
succeed'-Betty Brandenburg Yundt, Sixth-Grade Teacher, Curriculum
Coordinator, Walker Intermediate School, Fort Knox, KY 'Using
real-world examples and applications, this book makes cognitive
psychology and cognitive education accessible to all who work with
children and other learners. I immediately felt more confident in
applying my new thinking and understanding to my practice'-Wendy
Holley, School Psychologist, Bend-La Pine School District, OR Based
on Instrumental Enrichment (IE), a cognitive education approach
pioneered by internationally renowned psychologist and child
development expert Reuven Feuerstein, this updated volume provides
practitioners with much-needed techniques to develop students'
thinking skills and "bridge" these skills to the home and
community. This user-friendly book outlines fourteen core thinking
skills that increase students' cognitive capacity, including
organization, comparison, categorization, and problem solving. The
authors demonstrate how teachers can mediate learning in the
classroom and help parents, social workers, counsellors, and other
adults who work with youth to extend learning beyond the classroom.
Each chapter features: - An introduction to and description of a
specific skill - Examples and applications for formal and informal
learning contexts - An outline of how the skill aligns with
Feuerstein's theories of Mediated Learning and Cognitive
Modifiability Expanded to include an overview of many IE-related
research studies and quotes to stimulate reflection on each skill,
this second edition of Bridging Learning is a dynamic resource for
creative educators dedicated to enhancing thinking skills in all
learners.
