Minds on Psychology for Teaching Methods, by Harold Jones, Ph.D. offers the pre-service teacher, and parents, a well-organized supplement to a typical educational psychology course. The book takes a cognitive processing model approach to learning rather than a behaviorist model of learning. The chapter outline of questions, answers in terms of concept development and application, points to remember and things to avoid serves as a sound scaffold to build upon. This text can serve as a valuable addition to the pre-service teacher's and parent's toolkit. It can also serve as a valuable refresher to in-service teachers. I recommend this book for teachers and parents. -- Porter E. Coggins III
