I used this text this past semester for a psychology class entitled "Psychological Development and Classroom Processes," and I must say that I can already tell that this book will be an invaluble tool for my future as an educator! It goes over so many basic principles, encourages interaction with the topics covered, and is set up in a way that early parts lead nicely into the later chapters, unlike in some other educational psychology books I've looked at. Covering everything from behavioral learning, to classroom management and beyond, this is a book that every educator should own.
Great Perspective

This book gives a very good idea of the value of educational psychology. Sternberg shows an excellent ability to teach through this book, and the way it is organized is superb. The research is up to date, and relevant. I believe it is a great buy for both introduction and deeper reflection into how the mind learns.
