Editorial Reviews

"Highly recommended for teams of teachers committed to refining and retooling their practices with techniques that are proven to work." -- Anne E. Hasse "2013 Wisconsin Elementary Teacher of the Year"

"The examples used throughout Processing New Information provide a 'real-world' application of the text; the graphics help you conceptualize the information; and the questioning prompts assist with implementing the strategy. I could see myself using this as a resource for coaching teachers and using it in my classroom as a professional workbook." -- Daniele Massey "2013 DoDEA Teacher of the Year"

"The research-based, practical strategies shared in Processing New Information will help teachers equip students with the skills needed to be motivated, metacognitive learners." -- Stephanie Seay "2006 South Carolina Teacher of the Year"
