    • The Ninth Edition of this popular text from renowned educational psychologist Robert Slavin translates theory into practices that teachers can use in their classrooms with a further inquiry into the concept of intentionality and a thorough integration of standards. This edition highlights current issues and emerging trends in the field of educational psychology.

     

    This edition continues to have in-depth, practical coverage with a focus on the intentional teacher by presenting up-to-the-minute research that a reflective, intentional teacher can apply. An “intentional teacher,” according to Slavin, is one who constantly reflects on his or her practice and makes instructional decisions based on a clear conception of how these practices affect students. To help readers become “intentional teachers,” the author offers a set of questions to guide them and models best practices through classroom examples.

     

    Firmly rooted in research, up-to-date theory, and classroom-tested applications, Educational Psychology prepares teachers as no other text does. It teaches them to think about how students develop and learn, to make decisions before and during instruction, and to consider what constitutes evidence that their students are learning and succeeding.

    Slavin's Ed Psych takes a serious look at pertinent research and focuses on what works and how a reflective, intentional teacher can apply it in the classroom. Reflective questions, vignettes, self-checks and other pedagogy challenge students to think about and make decisions that drive successful instruction. The new edition builds on these established features and adds an emphasis on media effects on Learning, NCLB and the Achievement Gap, Neuroscience, and more interactive and engaged learning opportunities for students.

     

    This edition includes a new focus on reflection, new cases, sections on brain research, programs for language minority students, technology, No Child Left Behind, and after school and summer school programs.   It contains new critiques of assessment and accountability strategies and a substantially updated treatment of programming for students with special needs.

    • Engaging in the Language Arts is a new text that defines the discipline of language arts. This text emphasizes the need for teachers to draw upon the language power of students–the best language resource in their classrooms–in order to succeed in teaching to our increasingly culturally and linguistically diverse student body.

     

    Engaging in the Language Arts offers students a firsthand look at the language challenges teachers will face and how teachers need to identify these language possibilities and know how to make optimal use of these possibilities in their classrooms. Distinguished author team Donna Ogle and Jim Beers have crafted an ideal text for instructors seeking a focus on contemporary communication and visual literacy, using varied genre and electronic resources. Ogle and Beers present a lively narrative, clear organization, exceptional pedagogy and special features that bring the language arts to life for teachers.

     

    Unlike comparable texts, Engaging in the Language Arts helps teachers ensure that students learn to use language to communicate with others, to explore ideas, and to demonstrate their learning orally and in written formats. While covering all of the basic writing processes, the text places a unique emphasis on the actual purpose behind teaching writing and also includes classroom-based assessments and activities reflecting state and national standards that provide important resources to help teachers differentiate instruction.

    • This first edition text is designed to help pre-service teachers identify and confirm certification levels for their future careers, as well as better understand the learning process across the preK-12 environment.  An Introduction to Education: Choosing Your Teaching Path is unique due to its approach--focusing on 12 students (a variety from all grade levels) as well as teachers and administrators.  The author not only uses these focus students, teachers, and administrators in the opening chapter scenarios, but carries them through the text as classroom examples.

     

    The text is accompanied by video that includes classroom footage of the focus students and teachers.  No other introduction to teaching text does this: realistically captures students and teachers in action, includes them in the text as examples, and also includes photographs of the focus subjects.

     

    The overall theme is "how are the children?", reminding readers that no matter what they do in the classroom or in their professional development, that as a teacher they must always remember the student first in all actions.
