Rather than simply presenting the necessary content, the author makes you feel like she is talking directly to you. . . .

--David Yun Dai, University at Albany, SUNY
Love how each chapter discusses diversity and special needs! . . . Most students keep this text throughout their teaching careers as a resource. Of all the educational psychology textbooks that Ive used, this one is the most comprehensive and interactive with vivid examples. . . . The supplemental materials are very useful. The power point is extensive and easy to use for lecture. I use the test bank materials and find the questions to be aligned with students licensure exams.
