Revealing Minds is a practical, hands-on guide to assessinglearning problems, based on the approach of All Kinds of Minds, thegroundbreaking nonprofit institute co-founded by Mel Levine.Whereas most assessments of struggling learners focus on what is"broken" within a student and needs to be fixed, All Kinds of Mindshas adopted a more positive and comprehensive approach to theprocess. Rather than labeling children or categorizing them intocertain pre-defined groups, their optimistic and helpful pathcreates a complete picture (or "profile") of each student,outlining the child?s assets along with any weaknesses, andidentifying specific breakdown points that lead to problems atschool. The process of assessment should be able to answer a questionsuch as, "Why is my son struggling with reading?" with a betteranswer than, "Because he has a reading disability." RevealingMinds shows how to discover hidden factors?such aslanguage functioning, memory ability, or attentioncontrol?that are impeding a student?s learning. It goesbeyond labels and categories to help readers understand what'sreally going on with their students and create useful learningplans. Providing scores of real-life examples, definitions of keyterms, helpful diagrams, tables, and sample assessments, Pohlmanoffers a useful roadmap for educators, psychologists, and otherprofessionals to implement the All Kinds of Minds approach in theirown assessments.
