Featuring an inviting color layout with color photos, this text offers self-contained modules, about half the length of typical textbook chapters, and a total of 37 in-depth case studies of early childhood through high school classrooms, with diversity issues integrated throughout for this second edition. The text is designed to help students develop a teaching philosophy, apply educational theory and research findings to diverse instructional situations, and understand student differences. The modules are grouped in units on personal development, the developing learner, learning theories, cognitive processes, motivation, classroom management and instruction, learner differences, classroom assessment, and standardized testing. Each unit begins with four case studies, from early childhood through high school. Each module contains an outline and summary, video applications (on a student website), reflection prompts on case studies, and an application section. This second edition includes about 800 new research citations. Bohlin, now an educational consultant, formerly directed the teacher education program at Purdue University.
