theorists
The·o·ry: a particular conception or view of something to be done or of the method of doing it; a system of rules or principles: conflicting theories of how children best learn to read.
May people have differing views on education and how students should be taught using different tactics and strategies. I have focused on two theorists mentioned in my Behavior Management course: Paula Cook and Spencer Kagan. While I do not agree with all of the information they provide in their research, they have very solid views on the world of education. You may view their information under the "Theorists" sub-tab.
