Author: Peter H. Johnston Year: 2012 Grade Range: K-12 Media: 160 pp/paper ISBN: 978-157110-816-6 Item No.: WSB-0816 "Introducing a spelling test to a student by saying, 'Let's see how many words you know,' is different from saying, 'Let's see how many words you know already.' It is only one word, but the already suggests that any words the child knows are ahead of expectation and, most important, that there is nothing permanent about what is known and not known." — Peter JohnstonThis series of three related websites was developed collaboratively by Mount Royal University and their education partners for use by families, aides and school staff supporting children with disabilities. These interactive websites provide evidence-based strategies for promoting adaptive behaviour, while managing challenging behaviours.

You know, the way we do professional development and training is very specific on enhancing their skill set.
