A Mind at a Time (Abridged): Americas Top Learning Expert Shows How Every Child Can Succeed Audiobook

" Fantastic book exploring the different facets of our minds. Excellent resource for teachers, parents, and anyone interested in examining their own mental strengths and weaknesses. Also includes tips for improving weak areas. "

" Teachers and parents cannot try to teach kids in the same way. Every child has their own strengths and weaknesses..and the book breaks down the various intelligences into different categories. In order to reach every child, a teacher should know the different categories and be able to recognize if their students are strong or weak in each. "

" This book is very interesting, informative and thorough, but I'm going to have to put it down for now. I have too many other things I need to read/focus on... "

" Mel argues that every mind learns differently. He uses several examples of children percieve to be working substandard and shows how if approached in the right manner the learning becomes engaging and rewarding for all. He shows how different areas of the brain function differently creating special challenges. He also gives techniques for aiding the learning process in those who have specific challenges. "

" This author approaches his subject matter in a very general/generalized way, not giving many specific examples of individuals and their disorders/struggles. His message, reiterated ad nauseum, is simple: Treat each child as an individual. While this is a great concept, I did not find this author to be a great writer. "

" Had to read this for my education class. Basically psychology, with children. Not the greatest fan of psychology, but this book offers some pretty useful ways of parsing and understanding strengths and weaknesses of kids. Not in complete agreement, but definitely useful. "
