Subject:

Description:

This class introduces students to trends and variations in children’s physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development from the birth through the start of adolescence (around 4th grade). Specifically we will discuss how children’s development proceeds in terms of physical changes to the body (and the brain), thinking skills, and social competence. We will also examine developmental differences across individual children (including those with exceptional characteristics and/or special needs) and, more broadly, across cultures within and beyond the US. Six hours of field experience required for this course.
