Having to do with Education

Just in:
Books on educational psychology,
                 teaching and values,
                 and classroom management.
These are books  from 1959 all the way up till 1982, with the majority being from the late 60s.

The one I thought the most unusual:

When Teachers Face Themselves, by Arthur T. Jersild (TPB, 1959, $1.50)
This is Jersild's study of "the relationship between self-understanding and education. His discussion centers on the teacher whose 'undertstanding and acceptance of himself  is the most important requirement in any effort he makes to help students to know themselves and to gain healthy attitudes of self-acceptance.' " I don't know why it surprises me that teachers would have to know themselves in order to teach well, but it did.

Look for them in the education section, under the medical section.
