Child and Adolescent Dvlpmt

Catalog description

This course is designed to equip teacher candidates with knowledge of human development, cognitive, emotional, physical, social, and moral, across the lifespan. By integrating theory into practice, this knowledge will enable them to understand, from multiple perspectives, how education has been developed, from early childhood through adolescence. Candidates will be empowered to create developmentally appropriate curricula and approaches for students with developmental patterns that fall within the norm as well as those that vary from the norm. Curricular controversies and current issues in development will be explored and debated to enable candidates to think critically in making enlightened decisions that benefit children and their learning experiences.
