Overview

All that you need to assist the low-achieving students in your school are the six intervention strategies from this well-researched guide.

Drawing from 118 studies of students at-risk of failure, David Snow guides you through the evidence-based strategies that are proven to be effective with students who are performing below standards:

• Whole-class instruction that balances constructivist and behaviorist strategies
• Cognitively oriented instruction which combines cognitive and metacognitive strategies with other learning activities
• Small groups of either like-ability or mixed-ability students
• Tutoring that emphasizes diagnostic and prescriptive interactions
• Peer tutoring, including classroomwide peer tutoring, peer-assisted learning strategies, and reciprocal peer tutoring
• Computer-assisted instruction where teachers have a significant role in facilitating activities

A set of practitioner implications accompanies each intervention so you can quickly decide how to use these interventions in your school or classroom.
