About the Author |
| Dr. Jack A. Naglieri is Professor of Psychology. Prior to his current position he was Professor of School Psychology and Psychology at the Ohio State University where he taught from 1982 to 2000. He also is a Fellow of APA Division 16, recipient of APA Division 16 2001 Senior Scientist Award, and holds an appointment as a senior Research Scientist at the Devereux Foundation's Institute for Clinical Training and Research. Dr. Naglieri obtained his Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Long Island University, Master of Science from St. John's University, and Ph.D. in Educational Psychology from the University of Georgia in 1979. He worked as a school psychologist in the New York area from 1974-1977. The author of more than 150 scholarly papers, chapters, books, and tests, he has focused his efforts since the late 1970s on reconceptualizing intelligence.
Jack A. Naglieri, Ph.D., a professor at George Mason University, and Eric B. Pickering, Ph.D., a school psychologist at Grandview Heights City Schools in Ohio, have developed almost 50 practical instructional interventions designed to pinpoint and address student’s cognitive processing. Cognitive processes are the ways people think, learn, and solve problems — they are involved in everyday activities like driving a car and cooking dinner as well as reading, writing, and doing math. The interventions are based on Dr. Naglieri’s PASS model for understanding cognitive processing weakness, which identifies four main cognitive processing areas (Planning, Attention, Simultaneous, and Successive).

Created by psychologists, this common-sense guide offers a fresh approach to teaching children who struggle in school. Featuring almost 50 intervention handouts that really help children learn, the book is ideal for teachers to use in the classroom and parents to use at home. School psychologists can use the short questionnaire based on Naglieri & Das’s Cognitive Assessment System to help assess student strengths and needs and select interventions. Teachers and parents use the photocopiable handouts to help students
- build a foundation for academic success by improving attention, self-control, thinking skills, listening, and more
- improve specific skills in academic areas such as reading, writing, spelling, and math
- progress in four cognitive areas with strategies that address common classroom problems related to each area
These easy-to-use handouts were developed around the four cognitive areas in Naglieri’s PASS: Planning, Attention, Simultaneous, and Successive. Each handout — ideal for use with an entire class, small groups, or individual students — clearly describes the skill involved, indicates which children should use the intervention, and suggests strategies you can implement right away. And because the handouts were developed around a well-respected cognitive processing theory, school psychologists, teachers, and parents can be sure they’re getting proven, reliable approaches to solving students’ academic challenges at school and at home.
