Exceptionally applied and replete with examples, lesson segments, case studies, and practical ideas from experienced teachers, Educational Psychology by Anita Woolfolk looks at teaching rom the student’s perspective and shows how students learn and retain information. The new edition continues its emphasis on the educational implications and applications of research on child development, cognitive science, learning, motivation, teaching, and assessment. It includes expanded coverage of the brain and neuroscience, models of quality teaching, student diversity, technology and learning, and moral development, as well as an entire Cluster devoted to language development, language diversity, and immigrant education.   Also available with MyEducationLab ® This title is also available with MyEducationLab—an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with the text to engage students and improve results. Within its structured environment, students see key concepts demonstrated through real classroom video footage, practice what they learn, test their understanding, and receive feedback to guide their learning and ensure they master key learning outcomes. Review From reviews of the text:   “In all the textbooks I’ve read over the years [Woolfolk’s] writing is . . . the best: clear, funny at times, and makes tremendously good use of narrative and illustrative examples . . . .  Woolfolk is the most accessible and clearly written of [all of the] educational psychology texts.”   –Patrick Canning, Northern Arizona University   “I like the cluster and model approach to the table of contents. Also, the organization of the content fits into my needs with my course better than previous textbooks. . . . The key strengths that I see in the text are the user-friendly approach to the overall material, very reader friendly, and the multiple resources that connect theory, concepts, and strategies to practice. . . .  The resources provided in the text allow for the information to be more engaging . . . .”   –Jenna McLain, University of South Florida       “The comprehensive coverage of Educational Psychology content is exemplary. All the main topics that I wish to see in a book are addressed, and are largely covered in contemporary ways and with clear language and explanation . . . .  This book is better than the other ones on the market in several ways. I find the use of a modular approach is excellent to promote greater comprehension for the learners . . . . While I have often lamented the approach to have 15 long EDPSY chapters, I did not envision that anyone would be able to organize a set of smaller components that would effectively provide the material without losing the big picture. I was mistaken. It is impressive that an established author such as Anita Woolfolk would take the time and effort to recast the educational psychology field in a modular format. Without question, this book provides the content of educational psychology in a manner that “practices what we preach” in educational psychology.”   –Jerrell Cassady, Ball State University   From the Back Cover From reviews of the text:   “In all the textbooks I’ve read over the years [Woolfolk’s] writing is . . . the best: clear, funny at times, and makes tremendously good use of narrative and illustrative examples . . . .  Woolfolk is the most accessible and clearly written of [all of the] educational psychology texts.”   –Pa
