Feature Summary

Current, Canadian content The text provides full coverage of the issues impacting education in Canada today, as well as examples pulled from all regions of Canada. Nearly 100% of all boxes features are new to the First Canadian Edition, and 600 new references highlight Canadian and international research on important topics such as bullying, the impact of technology on teaching and learning, and diversity in the classroom.
Emphasis on Application The text explains the principles of educational psychology, but also clearly demonstrates how these theories are put into practice in the classroom. Students are given teaching tips and self-assessment to help improve their classroom performance, and can also look to anecdotes and case studies for real-life situations. These applications encourage students to 'take teaching personally' (i.e. authentic voices in Through the Eyes of Teachers, Teaching Stories, and Through the Eyes of Students; Self Assessments; Teaching Strategies.
Extensive Pedagogy Provides the best tools and applications for pre-service teachers: Practical 'Teaching Strategies', 'Crack the Case' case studies, 'Technology and Education' boxes, and 'Diversity and Education' boxes appear in each chapter to help students connect theory to practice. 'Self Assessments' and the end of chapter 'Professional Development and Portfolio Activities' encourage students to reflect on their own experiences, strengths, and weaknesses. Finally, a system of cognitive maps and summary tables helps students to preview and review important concepts.
Strong Coverage of Technology Technology is with us to stay and the teaching of it is becoming increasingly important. Both in terms of in-text coverage and in its support materials and resources for students and instructors, Santrock 1ce has the strongest coverage of technology in the market!
Regional Diversity The most regionally diverse coverage of any Canadian text on the market, with examples and issues/information from across Canada.
