Bill Hubert taught for many years in many settings. Always he found students who struggled--cognitively and/or physically and/or socially. He did his best for them but could see his efforts were of small value. Watching them, always watching them, over time these struggling students began to teach him. He learned from them that optimal teaching is one thing, optimal learning another, and both must occur simultaneously for optimal gain. This book does not prescribe how to teach. Hubert says little here about actual teaching moments. This book's focus is on PRE-teaching moments, how to prepare learner and teacher for quality time together. In short chapters and spare sentences Hubert speaks to OTs, PTs, counselors, rehab specialists, speech/language therapists, parents of children with academic troubles, parents of children with severe special needs--to everyone to works to benefit anyone who struggles to learn. His message is clear: so much depends upon what happens first, upon cues.

About the Author

Bill Hubert taught in public schools for 30 years: 15 years first grade, 15 years middle school English and history. For much of that time he also taught martial arts, which enabled him to see his struggling students through the twin lenses of balance and rhythm. Without martial arts, he says, and the rich musical background of his childhood, he would never have understood, finally, how to benefit these students, how to show them the way from I CAN'T to I CAN in any learning situation. Bill continues to live in Wichita, from where he and his student assistants travel regularly to sites around the world to train teachers, therapists, parents in his Bal-A-Vis-X program.
