Teach and inspire with author Sarah Grison
Sarah Grison believes in supporting both teachers and students, and her authoring encompasses the text, teaching resources, and assessment. As a faculty affiliate for the Parkland College Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning, she strongly believes that all components should be inclusive and should reflect the latest teaching and learning research. For students, she provides a text that consistently emphasizes applications, the science of learning,?and critical thinking. And for instructors, she has either created?or vetted rich resources on the Norton Teaching Tools site, assessment questions for InQuizitive and new Norton Testmaker, and High-Impact Practices: A Teaching Guide for Psychology. As an active member of the Society for the Teaching of Psychology, she has incorporated the latest recommendations from the APA IPI into the text and assessment.
New research-based IMPACT learning scaffold
Psychological research provides students with excellent strategies for learning more effectively, and our revision presents those strategies in a visually exciting way. A new?IMPACT learning scaffold?translates this research into six strategies that guide students through evidence-based ways they can learn and retain concepts across the text, helping them in this course and any other academic course. The learning scaffold is supported throughout InQuizitive, Testmaker, and PowerPoints so instructors can build and check students' proficiency with these strategies.
Promotes inclusion, visibility, and representation for a wide array of identities
All materials demonstrate cultural sensitivity and reflect the diversity of the students and the teachers who use them. The authors and editors are committed to honoring inclusivity in every aspect of this revision: throughout the text exposition, figures, Concept Videos, photos, illustrations, instructor support materials, and all forms of assessment resources including InQuizitive. This approach is consistent with our author’s philosophy and the theme of the new APA IPI to value diversity, promote equity, and foster inclusion in pursuit of a more just society.
New digital tools provide dynamic ways for students to understand challenging concepts and participate in scientific inquiry
New interactive neuron animations and a new interactive 3D brain, available in the ebook and in InQuizitive questions, help students visualize and interact with challenging concepts and processes. New ZAPS 3.0 interactive labs, included with every new copy, are brief, easy-to-use, hands-on activities that invite students to engage in psychological research and discovery. Students engage in interactive experiments on core course concepts, interpret the resulting data, and complete formative questions along the way. The Norton Teaching Tools site includes support for using the interactive 3D brain, interactive neuron animations, and ZAPS 3.0 interactive lab results as tools for powerful demonstrations and discussions in class.
Efficient, effective tools to help you achieve YOUR teaching goals
Instructors told us that the evidence-based, author-developed student and instructor resources for Psychology in Your Life are known for being the most substantial resources available for introductory psychology courses. In the Fourth Edition, we made these resources easier to curate, customize, and optimize for your course goals. New tools designed to make our resources more flexible and easier to navigate include: Norton Testmaker, the outcome-driven custom assessment builder; “Take It Online” and “Suggestions for Scaling” features for adapting the Active Learning PowerPoints and Activities and Demonstrations in Norton Teaching Tools to your course; and Teaching Pathways, curated lists of recommended resources based on specific teaching goals.
