Description
"This integrative text spotlights what educators need to know about cognitive development across grade levels and content areas. The book concisely reviews developmental neuroscience and theories of learning. It probes such crucial questions as what children are capable of remembering at different ages, what explains differences in effort and persistence, and how intelligence relates to learning. Domain-specific chapters focus on the development of key skills in reading, writing, math, science, and history. Multiple influences on achievement and motivation are explored, including school, family, cultural, and socioeconomic factors. Each chapter concludes with clear instructional implications"--
