MindTap Education, 1 term (6 months) Instant Access for Bergin/Bergin's Child and Adolescent Development in Your Classroom, Topical Approach | 3rd Edition

MindTap Education for Bergin/Bergin's Child and Adolescent Development in Your Classroom: Topical Approach, 3rd Edition is the digital learning solution that helps instructors engage and transform today's students into critical thinkers. Through paths of dynamic assignments and applications that you can personalize, real-time course analytics, and an accessible reader, MindTap helps you turn cookie-cutter into cutting-edge, apathy into engagement, and memorizers into higher-level thinkers. MindTap is a scaffolded learning experience designed to help students become classroom ready, reflective thinkers. As students move through the learning path, they will understand concepts critical to becoming a great teacher; create tools and prepare artifacts for their portfolio, and demonstrate competency in key areas in their course.

Using a topical approach to cover development from early childhood through adolescence, this book provides future teachers with authentic, research-based strategies and guidelines for their classrooms. The authors apply child development concepts to topics of high interest and relevance to teachers, including classroom discipline, constructivism, social-emotional development and wellbeing, and many others. A strong emphasis on individual and group diversity among children is reflected throughout. Case studies (in the ancillary materials) and real-world vignettes from authentic classroom situations further bridge the distance between research and the classroom. By linking theory, research, and practice -- and emphasizing application -- the book helps to equip teachers with the tools to create an environment that promotes optimal development in children. Also available: the MindTap online learning experience, with videos, applied activities, downloadable resources, and more.
