Dr. Gamlin is Professor Emeritus and senior researcher, in the Department of
Adult Education, Community Development and Counselling Psychology, the Ontario
Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto. His work spans
34 years of specialization in educational psychology, child development and
adult education. Dr. Gamlin’s interests have centered on the learning, teaching
process using assessments of potential and achievement as a means to prepare
students for instruction. In this work, following Vygotsky, the core
understanding is that ‘learning leads development’. He has written
articles and books on this subject. He was co-founder and co-editor of
The International Journal of Dynamic Assessment and Instruction. Most recently
Dr. Gamlin and his students have begun a collaborative inquiry into ethnic
identity development using personal reflections and issues raised by first and
second-generation individuals. He is also currently involved with students in
collaborative inquiry exploring the meaning of creative lifelong
learning. Dr. Gamlin is actively working with Aboriginal colleagues in
the Department of Adult Education to establish an Aboriginal education research
centre. Projects underway inquire into Aboriginal literacy programs to
determine to what extent they are culturally appropriate. Dr. Gamlin is
currently working closely with Aboriginal communities, using his expertise in
the fields of teaching, learning and adult education, to help deliver
culturally appropriate services to families and children. Dr. Gamlin is a
Registered Psychologist with the Ontario College of Psychologists.
Recently Dr Gamlin has published two refereed books and several refereed
chapters exploring his long-term career interest in adaptive instruction and
strategies for enhancing the learning potential of adults and
children. He has most recently focused these interests, applying
them to Aboriginal communities and culture.

Michael Luther completed his Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral Studies at York
University in Toronto. He is a Registered Psychologist in private practice and
a supervising psychologist at The Women’s College Hospital in Toronto. Dr.
Luther is co-author of the books Genie in the Lamp and Dynamic Assessment for
Instruction. Dr. Luther has presented theoretical and research papers at
conferences and has lectured extensively on best assessment practices and
effective programming techniques for needy students. He is cofounder and
coeditor of the International Journal of Dynamic Assessment and Instruction,
which promotes holism in education, culture-fair assessment practices and
appropriate teaching for disadvantaged minority children. Contributors come
from a variety of disciplines and countries. He has also presented on
counselling techniques in South Africa for the post-apartheid period. Dr.
Luther has taught for Nipissing University, Nova University (Fort Lauderdale,
Florida) and The Catholic University (Santiago, Chile). He has also worked as a
school psychologist in Israel.
Dr. Luther has taught Education and Psychology for 20 years at York University.
He was formerly (2002/03) Kumon Canada’s National Spokesman. He has done the
“Feuerstein” cognitive training method for 21 years and was a Canadian
representative ofthe Hadassah-WIZO-Canada Research Institute in Jerusalem. He
has taught thinking skills to exceptional children (e.g., P.D.D., retarded, and
slow learners). Additionally, he has developed similar materials (for young
children) for the North York Board, which are being used in places such as
England and Germany. Soon these materials will be utilized in schools
throughout Chile as part of a UNESCO/CIDA project. Dr. Luther worked as a
school psychologist with the Toronto District School Board for 23 years.
“My main area of interest has been in helping disadvantaged students to improve
their ability to learn and benefit from formal instruction. This also relates
to the assessment of learning potential; whenever possible I have tried to
avoid the administration of I.Q. tests and have employed alternative means of
assessing minority children. I have written a textbook on this issue and have
lectured extensively on the misuse of standardized tests and labels.”
