Table of Contents
This ASCD Study Guide is meant to enhance your understanding of the concepts and practical ideas presented in Doing Poorly on Purpose: Strategies to Reverse Underachievement and Respect Student Dignity, an ASCD book written by James R. Delisle. You can use this study guide either with teachers if you are a professor, teacher leader, or coach, or with younger students if you are a classroom teacher. You may already have posed to yourself or a colleague many of the questions included here, and others will become evident as you read through the book. You may choose to answer the questions before tackling each chapter of the book or answer them as you finish the chapter. Each chapter is rich in information—content, pedagogy, and research—so take the time to digest one at a time. The study questions provided address some of the most salient ideas in the book. They do not address all of the notions covered in the book.
