Mediated Learning In and Out of the Classroom by Cognitive Research Program
This intervention, called mediated learning, occurs when a caring adult works one-on-one with a child to lay the foundation for learning. Mediated Learning In and Out of the Classroom explains how this technique can improve students' impulse control, their ability to make accurate comparisons, orientation in time and space, understanding of cause and effect, and other higher-order thinking processes. For example, having a child draw a route to a store or guide you there can help correct spatial disorientation. Similarly, arranging toys according to color and size can sharpen a child's comparison-making skills.
These strategies-and hundreds more-accompany the easy-to-read text, worksheets, rating scales, assessments, and case studies. Together, they are a proven formula for success, both for you and for the children you care about.
