Author Johgn Mighton wrote two books, The Myth of Ability and The End of Ignorance. Fascinating. He devised this program JUMP in Canada, using actors instead of teachers. Research vindicates his work. Around the world, JUMP is being adopted to help struggling students.

A passionate examination of our present education system, The End of Ignorance shows how we all can work together to reinvent the way that we are taught.
John Mighton, the author of The Myth of Ability, is the founder of JUMP Math, a system of learning based on the fostering of emergent intelligence. The program has proved so successful an entire class of Grade 3 students, including so-called slow learners, scored over 90% on a Grade 6 math test. A group of British children who had effectively been written off as too unruly responded so enthusiastically and had such impressive results using the JUMP method that the school board has adopted the program. Inspired by the work he has done with thousands of students, Mighton shows us why we must not underestimate how much ground can be covered one small step at a time, and challenges us to re-examine the assumptions underlying current educational theory. He pays attention to how kids pay attention, chronicles what captures their imaginations, and explains why their sense of self-confidence and ability to focus are as important to their academic success at school as the content of their lessons.
