Gotta wonder how many educators in the system have child development as a requirement. After reading this,its clear that a differentiated approach is needed in all classrooms.

It's a textbook...it's a long arse textbook. What more is there to say? Still saving them for the biggest bonfire in March 2019 when I finish my Master's degree.

I used this book as a resource for my senior research project over child development. I learned a lot from this book about what goes into a child's learning. It was clear to me after reading that in a perfect world each child could have their own personalized education plan. However, in reality, with 30 kids per class, that is not quite an option, but I learned in this book that teachers should try their best to individualize kids and their abilities. This book was a little harder to follow for me being in high school. I felt it was at a high college reading level... maybe a graduate school text book or something around there. The authors did carry a conversational tone throughout the book which made it easier to take away from and apply the concepts easier. This book offered a lot of insight into how big of a role education has in child development and I was able to take away a lot of insightful information for my research paper.

Having two degrees in Psychology, not much of this was new to me. Although the content was relevant to future educators, I though the writing itself was too technical for an introductory textbook. Okay for grad school but overall not as engaging as this subject has the potential to be.

A well-written and very useful resource for educators. The authors write conversationally and naturally and provide many practical suggestions. I haven't read the entire text, but dip in frequently for understanding of particular issues and problems.
