In this book, Dr. Johnson breaks down the different educational psychology concepts and theorists in an understandable way through his \"Big Ideas.\" The big ideas highlighted each chapter's basic concepts, which makes it more relatable to teachers' experiences and how they can solve different issues faced in the classroom. Additionally, I appreciate how Dr. Johnson positively incorporates strategies for parents and teachers to assist \"today's learners - tomorrow's leaders.\" I am optimistic that all readers and specifically undergraduates, will appreciate this educational psychology book. \u003c\/p\u003e -- Stephanie Williams-Britton, EdD, Assistant Professor, Midland College, Midland, Texas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Andrew Johnson’s new book, Essential Learning Theories: How the Human Dimension Impacts Teaching and Learning is a must have for those of us in the field of education or preparing to be. Rarely can an author take the works of psychology greats such as Freud, Piaget, and Erikson, disseminating the concepts, making truly meaningful connections. This book oozes with practical wisdom in how to run a classroom that takes into account how humans learn, making a classroom that is both inclusive and full of hope. Most importantly, Dr. Johnson’s book understands the main tenet, that above all else, teaching is heart work. \u003c\/p\u003e -- Amy Erbeck Stone, Special Education Teacher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book explores the human dimension of teaching and learning. It enhances our understanding of human beings and provides a practical guide for designing authentic, person-centered learning experiences that meet the needs of students from diverse backgrounds and experiences. This book is a companion Dr. Johnson’s other book, Essential Learning Theories. It is a powerful resource for any Intro to Ed or Educational Psychology course. Backed by current research, it provides a reader-friendly and reliable perspective that will empower emerging educators as well as experienced teachers. \u003c\/p\u003e -- Katie Archer Olson, MAT ECE, Associate Professor\/Chair of Paraprofessional Education, Alaska Christian College\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Being and Becoming Human\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI.
