Looking in Classrooms

Reviews / Votes

"What can you say about a classic book in its 11th edition? It turns out you can say a lot. Looking in Classrooms maintains its focus on classroom teachers, connecting theory to practice and translating what current research says about the tasks of teaching into a language that all can understand. With four new chapters and an overall update, it is still the best book out there to summarize the observational research on teaching-applied educational psychology at its best, now better than ever."

-Robert Burns, Professor of Learning and Instruction in the School of Education at the University of San Francisco, USA

"This book cuts through the clutter-it strips away the jargon and attends to the foundations of great teaching based on decades of research. For beginning teachers who need a place to start their learning and for veterans seeking to reflect on and improve their practice, this book is an essential tool. "

-Amanda R. Bozack, Director of the School of Teacher Education and Leadership at Radford University, USA

"Here is a book that should be read by anyone who teaches students and by those studying educational psychology. Looking in Classrooms successfully and comprehensively presents rich and empirically solid literature on teaching and learning in language that is accessible to pre-service teachers and seasoned professors. It deftly weaves pertinent educational psychology research with practical applications and suggestions for implementation. This book should have a prominent place in every educator's professional library."
