Educational Psychology

“This book reflects contemporary changes in American education while providing reference to the past and a glimpse into the future.”  

"Strong coverage of technology and its impact on learners and learner development. Students pursuing teacher certification pathways and students who are not find this text applicable and useful to their future career aspirations."

“Covers a lot of material in a highly readable way. Students would be able to understand the writing level.” 

“A generally well-constructed and useful text that could replace the Woolfolk text currently standardized by the department.” 

“This book has many great questions that you can use to provoke students to think or use to invite them to the content.” 

“This book is a new and innovative text to use in a 100 level Educational Psychology course. I would use this book instead of the books I have been assigning.” 

“Nice emphasis on deliberate connections to classroom teaching practices throughout the chapter. Also, very nice touch to frame the book around becoming a teacher. Glad to see the introduction speak about maintaining a classroom environment rather than using the controlling term of ‘management.’ Classroom connection vignettes are effective and relevant. Effective job explaining and differentiating facts, principles and theories. ...Similarly, different methods of research are effectively summarized and differentiated. And again, the inclusion of the table is very helpful.”
