OTHER OPPORTUNITIES: The 1992 monograph 'Dynamic Assessment and Mediated Learning:Assessment and Intervention for Developing Cognitive and Knowledge Structures - An Alternative in the Era of Reform' is now available for downloading as a pdf file (from www.mindladder.org click Library/Readings/Archive). Three newer publications can also be downloaded from the main Library section. A slide-like presentation that highlights key features of dynamic assessment is also available for use in support of presentations people may give. Using your computer, an Internet connection and an LCD projector for larger groups, simply navigate to www.mindladder.org, click the 'Clinicians'tab on top and follow the menu choices in the left column within the frame that opens. The slides were originally constructed as a resource for psychologists, educators and administrators to discuss dynamic assessment with their colleagues either prior to or upon returning from their dynamic assessment training. |
