Professional Development of Teachers
Educational psychology seeks to inform and guide various areas of education practice. It plays a vital role in student learning and can help
influence the professional development of teachers as well. Through professional development, teachers can keep abreast of current
educational research. Professional development can be incorporated into the day-to-day activities of teachers with the ultimate goals of
enhancing teaching practices and improving student learning.
For this Discussion, review this week’s media and other Learning Resources. Think about how educational psychology can contribute to the professional development of teachers.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 3 two examples of how educational psychology informs teaching practices. Then explain three ways educational psychology
informs and guides the professional development of teachers. Be specific and use the Learning Resources and current literature to support your response.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the readings below.

Classroom Mangement and Educational Psychology
Fifty percent of teachers report spending more time managing classroom behavior than
educating (Beaman and Wheldall, 1997; Beaman, Wheldall, and Kemp, 2010). The challenge for
teachers is to manage the plethora of variables including, but not limited to, class size, ethnicity
issues, student behavior, language differences, and even student medications. Educational
psychology provides teachers with variant classroom management strategies and techniques to
create an effective environment for teaching and for learning.
For this Discussion, review this week’s Learning Resources and consider the variables that can
promote or inhibit classroom management.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 3 an explanation of at least three factors related to an effective classroom learning
environment. Then explain at least one factor that can work against an effective environment.
Finally, analyze one way educational psychology might inform the learning environment. Be
specific and support your answers with the Learning Resources and current literature.
