Cognitive Development for Academic Achievement
This integrative text spotlights what educators need to know about children's cognitive development across grade levels (PreK-12) and content areas. Chapters on general cognitive abilities probe such crucial questions as what children are capable of remembering at different ages, what explains differences in effort and persistence, and how intelligence and aptitudes relate to learning. The book provides a concise introduction to developmental neuroscience and theories of learning.
Multiple influences on academic achievement and motivation are explored, including school, family, cultural, and socioeconomic factors. Domain-specific chapters focus on the development of key academic skills in reading, writing, math, science, and history. Each chapter concludes with clear implications for curriculum and instruction.
