Whether students leave the classroom confident and goal-directed or frustrated and aimless depends on our ability to do two things: diagnose their needs and deliver support. This challenge can be daunting when students come to school with weak vocabulary, poor planning and organization skills, and problems with memory, impulse control, and attention span.

This essential guide provides
* Illuminating case studies that walk you through the protocol in a variety of content areas and grade levels.
* Strategies and tools to help you diagnose root causes and develop targeted, effective interventions for your students.
* Guidance for extending individualized interventions to large groups.
