Judy Dodge is a learning specialist, author, and a recognized leader in the field of effective classroom instruction. A frequently sought-after presenter and staff developer, she educates and motivates participants, blending idealism with the practical restraints of a high- stakes testing environment. A former classroom teacher, Judy has a keen sense of what will prove useful to teachers with different interests and levels of experience. She understands the need to teach process, as well as content, with a focus on addressing the needs of individual learners. She has the unique ability to synthesize traditional and current wisdom and research into practical strategies that generate immediate impact on classroom teaching and learning. Judy is the author of several articles and books, including, The Study Skills Handbook (1994) and Differentiation in Action (2005). The latter, endorsed by Carol Ann Tomlinson, with a foreword by David Sousa, helps teachers combine the science of learning with the art of teaching to meet the needs of individual learners in a responsive classroom. Judy’s third book for Scholastic, entitled, 25 Quick Formative Assessments for a Differentiated Classroom, is due out March 2009.
