A Caring Errand 2

This book is intended, first and foremost, for use by content-area teachers. Second, it is intended for use by college education professors to instruct their students in the use of a technique Dr. Yokitis calls before-during-after strategic reading process. Finally, education majors can use the reading strategy presented during tutoring practicums and during student teaching.

Dr. Yokitis's pretest--intervention--posttest research study yielded several encouraging outcomes. Ten students achieved educationally significant gains from pretest to posttest. Nine students showed no gain from pretest to posttest. Only three students achieved lower scores on the posttest as compared to the pretest.

As is true of Dr. Yokitis's first book, A Caring Errand: A Handbook for Educators, Future Educators and Student Caregivers, caring is the motivational force that empowers students in elementary, secondary, and special education classes to achieve outcomes academically, mentally, vocationally and spiritually. Caring has the final say. It is what makes the world of students and those involved with them go round.
