Educational Psychology and Effective Teaching Interactions

A famous scholar-Francis Bacon-once said that some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some to be chewed and digested. There are two reasons why we hope you will decide to "chew and digest" your educational psychology book. First, the story of educational psychology is exciting, and we have tried to maintain that excitement by having you interact with the theories, studies and tips for becoming a skilled teacher. Second, we have attempted to avoid a mere recitation of facts; we want you to apply this knowledge in your search for excellence. Enjoy.
