Description
Over the years, I used several educational psychology textbooks. However, I found that, as a group, they lacked what I believe to be the most current and forward thinking ideas in the field. Namely, they were written without an interdisciplinary collaboration. Additionally, I found that existing textbooks were weak in their coverage of learning differences.
I have finally produced a textbook addressing these issues. I have maintained much of the traditional layout of educational psychology textbooks, but with updated content to better mirror current best practices and interdisciplinary perspectives. I have also significantly strengthened the coverage on learning differences. I felt this was particularly important since many pre-service regular education teachers receive limited exposure to this material. Throughout the book, I tried to maintain a straightforward, easy to read writing style. I hope you will be able to use this book in your college course and keep it as a resource in your professional life.
