Educational Psychology, AI, & Emerging Technologies: Critical Thinking on Current Trends

"Insights drawn from neuroscience not only provide educators with a scientific basis for understanding some of the best practices in teaching, but also offer a new lens through which to look at the problems teachers grapple with every day. By gaining insights into how the brain works—and how students actually learn—teachers will be able to create their own solutions to the classroom challenges they face and improve their practice."

In this empowering book, motivational authors Bevel and Jordan illustrate an approach to achieve a positive, harmonious classroom environment that enables educators to evolve effectively from managers to leaders by rethinking their roles as teachers. Primary topics include: Intrinsic motivation as an aid in shifting from manager to leader, prevention strategies creating a caring community of learners, temporary intervention techniques, differentiating between discipline and punishment, and problem-solving techniques to help students take responsibility, creating constructive solutions for all.

This 2nd Edition provides new real-life examples, intervention techniques, and ready-to-use worksheets for addressing potential problems before learning is disrupted and demonstrates ways to foster student leadership in your classroom.
