Average customer review:Product Description
Accessible, practical, and empowering, this book gives school professionals the tools to put students in charge of their own learning. Going beyond traditional "study skills" guides that focus on the mechanics of homework completion and test taking, the authors address the underlying psychological factors that influence academic success and lifelong learning. They provide step-by-step guidance and data-based interventions for helping each student develop a repertoire of problem-solving strategies in the areas of motivation, emotional responses to learning, behavior, time management, organization, memory, reading, writing, math, and more. In a large-size format with lay-flat binding to facilitate photocopying, the volume includes dozens of reproducible handouts and forms.

Great work book
This book was required for a class taught by Harvey (first author). While I am often dubious of professors assigning their own textbooks, this book is of high quality. It contains many useful strategies and worksheets. This is appropriate for educators, administrators, caregivers and families working to foster independant learning. Definately something I will use again in the future.
