Many additional concrete examples taken from both classrooms and daily living further illustrate the content of each chapter in a comprehensive and approachable manner.

Another book for my grad classes.

I enjoyed the case studies and examples of how to handle different classroom situations. It opens the mind of a teacher up to real life scenarios and a mix of what not to dos and what to dos approach.

This was okay for a textbook, but it wasn't great. The chapters were overloaded with sidebars and inserted extras, making it hard to focus with all the visual clutter. I will give credit where it's due, however. The chapters on Behavioral psychology in the classroom, and on Motivation in learning were done well. But those are just the exceptions. My sympathies go out to anyone assigned this book for a class.

I'm reading the 8th Edition. Learning about metacognition, how learners learn differently and what to possibly do about it as an aspiring teacher. Read chapters 4, 6, 7, 8, 9. Also I'm reading the 8th Edition.

Not much to say about this one-- it's your ubiquitous ed psych text. Kind of boring, kind of informative, very bulky. Typical textbook.

This is a great book that really delves into different learning styles and thought processes.
