This book explains how a teaching system focused on identifying and stoking each student's strengthsrather than concentrating on deficitscan bring remarkable academic improvement and achievement.It's a familiar and seemingly logical model: to improve performance, identify weaknesses and target these problem areas. Could doing the opposite be a better way? Licensed clinical psychologist Elsie JonesSmith argues that strengthsbased systems are indeed more effectivenot just in social work, where the philosophy became popular; or in the business world, where the concept is increasingly being embracedbut in the academic setting as well.Spotlighting the Strengths of Every Single Student: Why U.S. Schools Need a New, StrengthsBased Approach explains how and why a system that focuses on students' strengths enables kids to be selfconfident, goaldirected, and to possess a stronger sense of selfefficacy, selfcontrol, and academic achievement. JonesSmith also explains how such a system spurs appreciation and advancement of multiple intelligences, which in turn gives students the ability to address weaknesseson their own. Another plus: this approach has also been shown to generally reduce school disciplinary actions and increase class attendance time.
