Make Reflection an Everyday Practice
Because today's classrooms and instructional demands are changing, new teachers need to be able to frame questions about their classrooms, use theories and research to think critically about the answers to those questions, and then take action.

Using real classroom cases, thought-provoking questions, and synthesizing activities, the authors guide students through a unique 4-step process Reflection, Information Gathering, Decision-Making, and Evaluation (RIDE) that seamlessly translates theory into practice, and helps make reflection an everyday practice.

Written by experts in cognition, motivation, and assessment, Educational Psychology: Reflection for Action provides an effective framework that not only makes the study of educational psychology manageable, but also develops new teachers into reflective practitioners.
