Book Reviews of A Mind at a Time
Book Review: A Great Resource for Parents and Educators
Summary: 5 Stars
Mel Levine, MD has created a valuable resource for parents, teachers, administrators, and clinicians in his most recent work, A Mind At A Time. As the title suggests, this book provides us with tools for recognizing and educating "different kinds of minds". Instead of labeling students, he advocates using keen observation techniques to accurately describe a student's learning strengths and weaknesses. To assist educators with this difficult task, he identifies eight neurodevelopmental categories and explains these through vivid descriptions of students and parents he has learned from in his clinical practice. In addition, he provides practical suggestions for fostering strengths while respectfully addressing areas of weaknesses. As Dr. Levine proclaims, "Insight is liberating - and forgiving". I found his honest and insightful premise, that not every child can do well in every type of learning, liberating in our current educational climate of high stakes testing. Parents and educators will gain useful information from this book to support learning for all kinds of minds.
