Developmental and Educational Psychology for Teachers

Developmental and Educational Psychology for Teachers brings together a range of evidence drawn from psychology to answer a number of critical educational questions, from how developmental problems influence learning during childhood to the social and emotional development of teenagers. The authors present a range of classic theories and contemporary research that explore the key issues that many teachers will encounter and help them make informed educational decisions. These include inclusion, ability grouping, sex differences, developing creativity, home and peer influences on learning, and developing effective learners.
