Publisher's Synopsis

The social worlds of children play a dominant and influential role in their lives at school. Children's interpersonal relationships with their teachers and peers can be powerful social contexts that motivate student behavior. Children observe and model social and academic skills and standards for performance displayed by others; they are rewarded for behaving in ways that are valued by teachers and peers. This special issue's purpose is to enrich this portrayal of how children's social and academic development are related.
