Association for Supervision & Curriculum Development Learning in the Fast Lane: 8 Ways to Put ALL Students on the Road to Academic Success

This essential guide identifies eight high-impact, research-based instructional approaches that will help you: Make standards and learning goals explicit to students. Increase students' vocabulary—a key to their academic success. Build students' motivation and self-efficacy so that they become active, optimistic participants in class. Provide rich, timely feedback that enables students to improve when it counts. Address skill and knowledge gaps within the context of new learning. Students deserve no less than the most effective strategies available.

Yet many of these students can experience a very different trajectory when their learning difficulties are addressed. Whether it’s a student with ADHD who has trouble sitting still, a student just arrived from abroad who speaks no English or a traumatised student who dissociates in class; there are strategies that have proven effective in overcoming the hurdles they face. This guide will help teachers recognise the most common barriers to learning and apply solutions that will work in their classrooms.
