EP #39: Private School Admissions in NYC
During this episode, Becky Reback and Mary Miele talk about the executive functioning model, how it was created, and ways parents can use it to improve their child’s executive functioning at any age. The model includes four pillars: academic research, areas of inquiry and instruction, assessment and strategy creation and skill mastery.
Disability: ABILITY
The field of special education in 2022 has progressed to a point where we have ways to treat and support students with learning issues, and yet, we frame so much of the special education process from a deficit-based mindset. Even the word, “disability” supports this negative connotation of neurodiversity. This idea book outlines a paradigm for how to view and work with students with diagnoses formed through experience, research, and creativity in a way that supports an ability-forward mindset. Anyone who is parenting or teaching in the special education field would benefit from reading this book and using its ideas within the context of their practice.
How to Tutor
Tutoring is a billion-dollar industry. Much of it involves standardized test preparation and content-based training for tutors. This book, built on my 25+ year career as a learning specialist, outlines a model for tutors that they can use to ensure the whole child learns well. It shows tutors how to tutor in a way that will be most impactful, especially as we enter test-optional admissions processes and a successful learning experience. Tutors can use this book to frame their practice, retain students, and empower students to learn well.
