The purpose of this miniseries is to review research on effective instruction and to discuss the contributions of this research knowledge to the practice of school psychology. Effective schooling ...involves the development of optimal learning environments, sensitivity to the diversity of teacher skills and teaching styles, and the accommodation of instruction to variable characteristics among individual students, all of which lead to the provision of adaptive instruction. Thus, four general areas have been selected as the focus of the articles in this miniseries: teacher behaviors, instructional environments, individual differences among learners, and practices of adaptive education. This miniseries attempts to delineate some of these "lines within which the rules of the art" of teaching fall. Understanding conditions that affect children's learning and knowing how instructional principles and research findings operate in everyday schooling situations are important objectives for all school psychologists. It is with these objectives in mind that the following articles are presented. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: journal abstract)
