educational psychology

School psychologists are unsung heroes who help children access special education services, overcome trauma, learn how to cope with mental disabilities, develop strong self-esteem, and discover what they want to do when they grow up. They foster tolerance, compassion, and resilience in the classroom, showing students the beauty of a world where everyone is accepted and loved for who they are. School Psychology offers a glimpse into how these dedicated individuals learn their trade, get a license, and use their skills to make life better for tens of millions of students, educators, and parents. School Psychology is part of the Psychology in Action series. These eleven books offer an amazing insight into how the human mind works, why we love certain things and hate others, and how we can become the best versions of ourselves. It?s a must-read for anyone who wants to study psychology as a profession, but it is sure to interest those who aren?t aspiring psychologists but who do want to cultivate good habits, learn how to make smart decisions, find ways to get along better with their peers, and enjoy the many benefits of living an ethical, compassionate life.
