The Diagnostic Teacher
This provocative new volume from one of the nation's leading educational think tanks presents in-depth portraits of teachers, professional development staff, and researchers working together to deepen teacher's professional capacities and students' learning experiences. Ranging across subject areas and grade levels, The Diagnostic Teacher describes a variety of powerful classroom and school-based strategies that help students achieve and teachers thrive. The final two chapters define a set of underlying features shared in common by these diverse examples. The result is a rich and inspiring blueprint for how school leaders can revitalize the profession of teaching, while developing more inquiry-oriented, constructivist classrooms.
Guide to the Qualitative Scoring System for the Modified Version of the Bender-Gestalt Test
The Bender-Gestalt Test is a psychological assessment tool used for measuring visual-motor function by having subjects attempt to reproduce patterned drawings. Brannigan (psychology, State U. of New York at Plattsburgh) and Brunner (Child and Family Guidance, Clinton, New Jersey) offer a history of the test, an overview of the modifications to its scoring system, and the research background behind those modifications. They then present guidelines to the administration and scoring of the test and protocols for test interpretation. Finally they suggest avenues for future research.

GUIDE TO THE QUALITATIVE SCORING SYSTEM FOR THE MODIFIED VERSION OF THE BENDER-GESTALT TEST
With increased interest in predicting and ultimately preventing academic failure in children comes the need for effective preschool and primary school assessment. The first step in developing an effective assessment program is to select tests that will yield data needed for individual decision making. One factor that has been shown to contribute to the prediction of children’s academic achievement is visual-motor-integration skill. The Qualitative Scoring System for the Modified Version of the Bender-Gestalt Test was developed in the 1980s to measure visual-motor-integration skill in preschool and early elementary school children. The assessment instrument utilizes six of the nine Bender-G...

The Second Edition of this classic work has been thoroughly updated and revised with an additional chapter providing a powerful rebuttal to The Bell Curve. Ronald J Samuda presents a comprehensive analysis of the perspectives, pitfalls, fallacies, issues, consequences and trends in the use of standardized norm-referenced tests with American minorities. He demonstrates that testing continues to be the primary method for injecting pseudoscientific arguments which bolster discrimination, prejudice and social injustice.

Reading Disabilities
Reading Disabilities: Beating the Odds answers two critical questions. Does my child have a reading disability? If so, how can I get the services my child needs? Beating the Odds helps parents to identify different kinds of reading disabilities, to evaluate the quality of their child's reading program, to resolve conflicts with the school without sacrificing their child's needs, to monitor the effectiveness of their child's program, and to use federal and state laws to ensure that the school meets their child's needs. The book explains a complex subject in clear, practical terms. Written by two authorities on learning disabilities, it gives parents the knowledge and strategies they need to help their child overcome reading disabilities.
The SAGE Encyclopedia of Abnormal and Clinical Psychology
Abnormal and clinical psychology courses are offered in psychology programs at universities worldwide, but the most recent major encyclopedia on the topic was published many years ago. Although general psychology handbooks and encyclopedias include essays on abnormal and clinical psychology, such works do not provide students with an accessible reference for understanding the full scope of the field. The SAGE Encyclopedia of Abnormal and Clinical Psychology, a 7-volume, A-Z work (print and electronic formats), will be such an authoritative work. Its more than 1,400 entries will provide information on fundamental approaches and theories, various mental health disorders, assessment tools and p...
