I purchased this book for a class I took, and I loved it. It is simply packed with very useful, current research about teaching diverse groups of students as well as methodologies and strategies that are on the cutting edge of modern research. It's one of the most useful teacher's support tools I've ever read, which I did read from cover to cover--all 460 pages. In addition to the 460 content pages, at back of the book is an Appendix section containing hundreds of resources/references, as well as a glossary, and the CEC and INTASC Standards. This is one textbook that I do not intend to sell back. Its contents are valuable and relevent to what classroom teachers are faced with today.As if all of the above weren't enough, the pages are full of color--very inviting; and the layout of the page contents are very accessible, with important terms printed in bold red. Each page contains useful teaching tips as well as other resources, including online resources that are available for further research, tips, and tools (such as free websites--including virtual tools--that students can access).By the way, I did purchase the loose-leaf version, and I'm so glad I did. It's not at all cumbersome the way a bound textbook of this size would have been. I simply placed the contents in a 3-ring notebook, and I was good to go. All I needed to do was remove the pages that I was studying so that I could more easily highlight the content. The pages have about a three-inch margin, which was ideal for me to make notations right in the book itself. Very convenient. The loose leaf version was also a little less expensive! Either way, in my opinion, the book is worth every penny!Overall, I am extremely pleased with my purchase. It's obvious that a lot of thought went into every detail of this book, which I very much appreciate.
This book is awful. No way around it. It will talk on and on for pages about a topic that they could have explained better in one paragraph. The density of useful information in this book is very thin. But, every now and then, a useful bit will present itself, which is why there are two stars.
the book is new and clean. but I have borrowed one and I gave this to a friend and she liked it.As for the content of this book, I feel like most of the time it is talking about a lot of "common sense" stuff and when you read it, you will say "this is also what I think and so what?". To be frank, I did not find too many "a ha" moments and I have to say that it did not help me that much as i had expected.
the class i was taking required the 5th edition, but i decided to buy this one instead... they are pretty close and it gave me a lot of valuable information I needed to get an A in the class. Not to mention I saved a few $$$ buying this older version and it worked just fine.
I used this book for the class I took. However, this book contains so many resources and useful info that I am keeping it! It has tips not only on exceptionalities but on everything supporting it as well, like technology.
We received the book when expected, it was in good condition, its was better than going to the college book store at the begining of the semester and waiting for 1 1/2 to purchase the book.I ALSO SAVED $35.00.The book came via us mail not ups,I was waiting for ups to deiver the book and it was in my mail box.
Even if you have used other ed psych books before, you will find this book to be quite good - it clearly states definitions in a way that you may not have understood before. An easy reading textbook!
This book is an excellent tool for students intending to go into the teaching field. It gives a lot of great teaching tips for in the classroom and what to expect from students that are different.
