Educational psychology has become increasingly important in today's educational landscape due to the complexity of learning, diverse student populations, and growing demands on teachers. Understanding learning is essential for teachers to design and implement effective instruction that meets the needs of their learners. This six-part series, Theory to Practice: Educational Psychology for Teachers and Teaching, aims to provide teacher educators with the knowledge and skills they need to teach about learning. Preservice teachers, who are learning about learning to support others' learning, and teacher educators, who guide others in content knowledge and teaching across domains, are particularly important in this context. This volume offers insight into what teachers need to know about learning and practical applications for how to teach the content. It draws from various theoretical perspectives about learning and identifies common misconceptions that educational psychology instructors and teacher educators need to address in their work with preservice teachers.
