About the Author
Jim Bellanca founded SkyLight Professional Development in 1982. As its President, he mentored more than a dozen author-consultants as he led SkyLight in pioneering the use of strategic teaching and comprehensive professional development. Prior to meta-analyses that marked the effectiveness of cooperative learning, graphic organizers and other cognitive strategies on student achievement, Jim co-authored more than a dozen texts that advocated the application of these tools across the curriculum, with the theme, “not just for the test but for a lifetime of learning.” Currently, Jim is building on the theories of cognitive psychologist Reuven Feuerstein to develop more effective responses to the learning needs of those low performing students whose academic achievement continues to lag behind those who have greater learning advantages.
