Description
Effective teaching methods need to be supported by psychology solidly based in cognitive concepts. The theory to guide instruction is cognitive psychology. The concepts in this book lead the teacher to develop a theory of instruction as opposed to operating on intuition. The theory based on psychological concepts allows the teacher develop applications which fit their style. Evidenced based concepts are presented in this book oriented to what teachers do to plan and deliver instruction. To support those ideas the book provides a strong application of intrinsic motivation.

After a career in K-12 teaching he became a teacher educator at the university level. He has experience in rural schools as well as urban schools.
