About this title

Synopsis

Educational Psychology Casebook is a collection of original cases based on real scenarios that span the K-12 curriculum helping students apply their learning of educational psychology. This text has 25 cases and includes a helpful theory guide. These real-life scenarios can be used to apply theory to the classroom when field experiences are not feasible. Each case concludes with thought-provoking questions, references and further readings and suggestions for using helpful video segments from MyLabSchool. The cases are described by content and level in a detailed Table of Contents and all cases indicate how they apply to NCATE teacher certification standards.

From the Back Cover

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 University

This 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.
