Welcome to This Web Site on the Psychology Learning and Teaching!  

Attached to the Teaching Strategies page of this website is "SHS Chapter full text", my latest publication, Students Helping Students: An ELL Parent Tutoring Program Partnership, in B. Cozza and P. Blessinger (Eds.) University Partnerships for Pre-Service and Teacher Development, Emerald Press, 2017. The publisher sells it for $124.95 but Amazon has the hardcover version for $86.23, although their Kindle version is the same as the publisher's price.

My name is Professor Hope J. Hartman; I'm an educational/cognitive psychologist and  taught at CCNY and the CUNY Graduate Center until January 2013, when I retired and moved to North Carolina. This website will continue to be available to my former students and anyone else interested in the Psychology of Learning and Teaching.  My specializations are: thinking, learning, teaching and instructional technology.            Email me:hartman@ccny.cuny.edu                    

My regular web site is http://education.ccny.cuny.edu/faculty/hhartman/  

This site was developed for students in my graduate course, Psychology of Learning and Teaching at CCNY. Our main text was my latest book, A Guide to Reflective Practice for New and Experienced Teachers. 

You can see all my books in print by visiting my Amazon Author page http://www.amazon.com/Hope-J.-Hartman/e/B001KHJMEW/ref=sr_tc_2_0?qid=1264548806&sr=1-2-ent

My  graphic organizer of a self-directed learner  summarizes many of the characteristics of the Learner-Centered Principles. Click on the image to expand and read it.

A major theme of this course is the implementation of strategies that are consistent with the American Psychological Association's "Learner-Centered Principles", which underlie much current school reform. http://www.apa.org/ed/governance/bea/learner-centered.pdf

This graphic organizer, created with Inspiration, shows the 18 countries where my Fall 2012 students were from. 

OPTIONAL A modern classic, which used to be the textbook for this course, is How People Learn (Expanded Edition 2000). Here's a link to the whole book,http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?isbn=0309070368 which is free to read online.
