TWO SCHOLARLY REPORTS ON INSTRUMENTAL ENRICHMENT!

Kenneth Pransky, an educator who has been fully trained in Instrumental Enrichment Standard at all levels, has implemented the program with students in a school in central Massachusetts; he has dealt there with particular second-language issues with recently immigrated children. He is the author of a book, BENEATH THE SURFACE: THE HIDDEN REALITIES OF TEACHING CULTURALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY DIVERSE YOUNG LEARNERS, K-6, published by Heinemann and now available on Amazon. He is currently a staff member at the Hampshire Education Collaborative in Northampton, Massachusetts.

Attached are two scholarly reports that he has authored and co-authored, both of which deal with different aspects of memory and mediated learning. These two papers would be of particular interest to those involved with educational research processes. Ken is eager to get feedback on either paper. Readers who would like to offer comments may communicate with Ken
