They are real people who have had experiences like anybody else, but found homes and teachers who supported them. While in college, they found educators who mentored them.Readers will find that this volume offers them an opportunity to learn the background of contemporary pioneers in education and psychology, provides valuable sources where they can learn about how major theories developed and where they are moving, and reveals the personal anecdotes that influenced the conceptualization of contemporary theories and research.
