Classroom insights from educational psychology

Summary

The early school years provide critical opportunities for children to develop foundational skills and positive attitudes toward learning. This book, the first in the Classroom Insights from Educational Psychology series, gives current and prospective PreK-3 teachers valuable insight into how young children feel, think, and learn. "This book helps the practicing educator turn research into seamless classroom practice. The practice exercises can be implemented immediately to help build student success." --Katina Keener, Science/Social Studies Teacher, T. C. Walker Elementary School, Gloucester, VA
