Strategies for Successful Learning
Volume 1, Number 4, March 2008

Ioannis Agaliotis, Ph.D. and Howard Margolis, Ed.D., Editors

Brought to you by Learning Disabilities Worldwide (LDW®) through the generosity of Multisensory Training Institute

Welcome to Strategies for Successful Learning. Volume 1(4) answers these important questions:

  • What strategies can help struggling learners solve mathematics word problems?
  • What are the emotional effects of learning problems?
  • What can be done to improve the effectiveness of parent-teacher conferences?
  • How can the five-step plan help improve students’ social skills?
  • Should teachers recommend retention or promotion?
  • What can be done to help struggling learners revise their writing?
  • What does research say about different kinds of early child-care programs?
As always, please feel free to share these columns with teachers, parents, and other interested parties.

Sincerely,
Howard Margolis, Ed.D.
Editor
