$69.32

  • Affordable rental option for select titles
  • Free shipping on looseleafs and traditional textbooks
  • Five new cases to the collection, including three at the preschool level: “The Bully” (Case 1), “Haley and Meredith” (Case 5), “Animal Shelters” (Case 27), “I Bit My Tongue” (Case 28), and “The Unmotivated Student” (Case 39).
  • The 48 cases are grouped into four general categories––child and adolescent development, learning and cognition, motivation and classroom management, and instruction and assessment––but all of them have relevance to two or more of these areas (see the matrix immediately following the table of contents).

  • The cases have been field-tested in classes in educational psychology and related disciplines.

  • An Instructor's Manual is available, offering possible responses to the questions for each case.
