About this title

Review:

"This is an excellent educational psychology text. The research is up to date, applicable to the classroom and understandable to the beginning teaching candidate." - Theresa M. Stahler, Kutztown University "I love the Guidelines that are included in each chapter that give teachers realistic, practical tips for how to integrate these ideas into their teaching practice.... [T]he Point/Counterpoint section of each chapter ... gives students a very up-to-date view on different perspectives and controversies in the field." - Kate Niehaus, University of South Carolina "[The author's] writing style is easy to read and her personal examples and stories really help making the content easy to understand." - Nithya Iyer, SUNY Oneonta "Woolfolk takes care to highlight certain precautions [to keep students from] over-extending or over-interpreting certain research findings and remind[s] readers to not speak or interpret beyond the scope of the data." - Jeffrey Liew, Texas A&M University
