Educational Psychology: Theory and Practice gives tomorrow's teachers the intellectual grounding and practical strategies they need to be effective instructors. Complete, up-to-date information is presented in readable, practical ways and illustrated with engaging examples, case studies, and embedded videos and interactive activities. The text makes the connection between theory and practice explicit, helping students to transfer what they learn to their own teaching. Chapter-opening vignettes depicting a real-life situation that teachers encounter are followed by Using Your Experience questions that encourage critical and creative thinking about the ideas the chapter will cover. (See pages 3 and 99 for examples.) Theory into Practice presents specific teaching and learning strategies to try in the classroom. (See pages 82, 85, 90, 93, and 94 for examples.) Concluding each chapter, The Intentional Teacher and Self-Assessment: Practicing for Licensure help prepare students to apply the chapter content to the kinds of questions they may encounter in licensure exams and in the classroom. Pearson etext users can answer the questions and receive immediate feedback. (See pages 64 and 67 for examples.) On the Web provides information about relevant online resources (see pages 226 and 232 for examples). Margin icons are provided to connect core content across chapters and to the InTASC model core teaching standards and to guide study for certification exams, and an appendix maps the content of the text to the Praxis II: Principles of Learning and Teaching exam. Every chapter of the enhanced text has embedded video examples that illustrate and explain key concepts, including at least one Personal Reflection video, in which the author comments on his experiences as a teacher, researcher, and parent to illuminate the chapter content.
