Educational Psychology Casebook

"I think the casebook idea is excellent. As an instructor, I am eager to have good cases to use with my students." --Cheryl Greenberg, The University of North Carolina, Greensboro"Professors tend to lose sight of what is actually happening in the classroom; consequently, case studies like those presented here add realism to the often dry classroom lectures and abstract discussions." --James Furukawa, Towson UniversityThis compilation of over 25 concise yet highly detailed cases helps students apply their knowledge of educational psychology and theory to the classroom. The cases found in the book are original and based on real life scenarios that span the K-12 curriculum and incorporate a range of issues including exceptional populations, diverse students, and the use of technology.FEATURES: The range of topics covered in the casebook makes it flexible enough to be adopted along with any educational psychology text, thus allowing the instructor to continue using any current textbook while incorporating the case-study method. Many of the cases are tied to short video clips from MyLabSchool that illustrate real life classroom experiences to allow the instructor to use case and video applications of theory. A matrix in the appendix illustrates case by case connections to PRAXIS and the Educator Accomplished Practices so that adopters can use appropriate cases to cover certification topics. An Instructorrs"s Manual is available by contacting your local sales representative.
