Garner, Betty K.
Getting to "got it!" : helping struggling students learn how to learn / Betty K. Garner. - Alexandria : Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, c2007. - xvii, 168 p. : ill. ; 23 cm.
Includes bibliography and index
Betty K. Garner focuses on why students struggle and what teachers can do to help them become self-directed learners. Difficulty reading, remembering, paying attention, or following directions are not the reasons students fail but symptoms of the true problem: underdeveloped cognitive structures the mental processes necessary to connect new information with prior knowledge; organize information into patterns and relationships; formulate rules that make information processing automatic, fast, and predictable; and abstract generalizable principles that allow them to transfer and apply learning.
