Woodcock-Munoz Foundation notes
 * Per NASP List email 7/14/2009 went to [|dissertation page].
 * Asked for email or contact of Lisa Solazzo who wrote [|Solazzo (2008). Role of Gender, Cognition, Anxiety, and Competence Beliefs in Predicting Math Achievement.] Wanted to ask what the rate of correlation was to beliefs of mathematic competence and how she came up with number. Also was thinking about professional development on cognitive variables (processing speed, fluid reasoning, working memory, crystallized intelligence) - include what they are, range in a typical classroom, strategies for managing differences in classroom and for helping weak students improve. Also didn't understand: Gender yes or no a factor. Processing speed is mentioned twice.
 * Received inquiry as to why. Noticed link between competetence beliefs and what Richard Nisbett said in his book so I sent this email 7-14-2009 to Barbara Wendling, Executive Director about what I was thinking -- PR compaign to change belief that mathematic success is inherent vs. due to hard work.
