Reviews

An excellent text for use in preservice and inservice teacher education courses that focuses on showing teachers how to translate psychological theory into practice. We need more of this kind of practical application material in teacher education. -- Gordon E. Greenwood, educational psychology professor emeritus, College of Education, University of Florida, Gainesville I agree fully with the author that theories often are covered apart from practical classroom applications, and students do not make the proper linkages. I did appreciate the way the author did that ... There were many practical applications, so the vocabulary came to life. I don't know of another textbook that does this as well as the author did. -- Darlene DeMarie, Associate Professor of Educational Psychology, University of South Florida
