CHDV 20209 - Adolescent Development

Institution:

University of Chicago

Subject:

Description:

Adolescence represents a period of unusually rapid growth and development. At the same time, under the best of social circumstances and contextual conditions, the teenage years represent a challenging period. This course presents the experiences of diverse youth from a variety of theoretical perspectives, improving our understanding about the "what" of human development as well as the "how." Ultimately, the conceptual orientation described is critical for (1) designing better social policy; (2) improving the training and support of socializing agents (e.g., teachers); and (3) enhancing human developmental outcomes (e.g., resilient pattern s).
