FLIP IT!: An Information Skills Strategy for Student Researchers

What students often need is an information problem-solving strategy: they know how to proceed, they just don't know how to begin each step in a process. The author of this revolutionary new book has created a simple, yet highly effective process students can learn and apply to each set of problem-solving issues they encounter. The author and a team of students developed a four-step strategy, based on sound psychological principles, that helps kids solve any kind of informational problem on their own. With concrete examples of this process's success in her own school—and in the schools subsequently attended by her students—Yucht demonstrates how this simple strategy helps kids to simplify and approach even complicated assignments, increasing their chances of success.
