Educational Psychology and Transformational Classrooms uniquely positions teachers’ transformational experiences as central to understanding and implementing educational psychology research. Across three well-developed case studies using narrative inquiry methods, this volume explores moments of significant change, learning, and evolution in teaching and learning. Each case is followed by analyses from educational psychologists focusing on the three central actors in the learning experience—students, teacher, and context—and is then concluded with case authors’ responses to the analyses provided. Showcasing the holistic experience of teaching before unpacking it with theory and research, this book centers classroom life and posits educational psychology as an ideal and accessible lens for its examination.

This Handbook presents a definitive, state-of-the-art overview of the leading research and scholarship on teachers’ beliefs and their influence on students’ learning and classroom environments. Given the education sector’s amplified sociocultural charge, teachers’ beliefs are likely to influence more than just the delivery and assessment of subject areas. Teachers’ beliefs affect their instruction and context of schooling and thus are deserving of further study. This comprehensive volume addresses current research and theory from global perspectives, including new and promising focus areas for scholars and faculty of educational psychology, school psychology, teacher education, education measurement, school counseling, and beyond. It provides both novices and experts alike a foundational understanding of key conceptual frameworks and methodologies for studying teachers’ beliefs, as well as reviews of the literature on teachers’ beliefs about students, subject matter, instruction, assessment, motivation, and learning. This substantively revised second edition retains and deepens the first edition’s attention to theoretical and empirical foundations and pedagogical and domain-oriented beliefs while expanding into individual differences and student identity.Its numerous applications for education make this handbook an invaluable companion for researchers in education and psychology, with a special focus on K-12 schooling.

Cases of Teachers’ Data Use addresses applications of student data beyond theoretical, school-, and district-level examinations by presenting case studies of teachers’ data use in practice. Within the context of data-driven education reform policies, the authors examine the effective and ineffective ways that teachers make use of student data in instruction, evaluation, and planning. Promising practices, based on the empirical research presented, offer strategies and routines for sound data use that can be applied in schools. Chapters written by scholars from diverse methodological perspectives offer readers multiple lenses to use in considering issues of data use such that current theoretical assumptions may be challenged and the field advanced. This uniquely focused yet comprehensive work is an indispensable resource for researchers and students interested in classroom assessment and for professionals looking to support teachers’ use of student performance data for adaptive instruction.

As teachers are required to integrate an increasing number of assessment practices into the classroom, it is crucial that they have effective routines for organizing and evaluating the generated data. Managing Classroom Assessment to Enhance Student Learning introduces pre- and in-service teachers to the major categories of assessment management and provides empirical and theoretical support for their effectiveness. In-depth chapters consider management in the context of assigning and collecting work, interpreting and organizing assessment results, and providing students with feedback.
