Arena, John I., Ed.; And Others

Topics considered are the role of observation, the identification of children's strengths and weaknesses, the role of the school psychologist, counseling, movement exploration, game skill development, relaxation and concentration, training in pattern recognition and space concepts, and development of self concept. Academic areas discussed include the teaching of English to junior high school students, correction of left-to-right reversals, reading, art, the use of color in reading, music, creativity in arithmetic, mathematics in the primary grades, modern math for junior high school, basic mathematical concepts for elementary children, behavior modification and learning, and academic and emotional development at the junior high school level.
