not offered 2008-09 In this course we will examine the interactions among the cognitive, social, emotional, linguistic, and physical development of school-age children. The course will attend to some of the larger questions about development, such as the relationship between nature and nurture; the role of developmental theory; and the tension between the search for developmental universals and the reality of individual differences. Special attention will be given to the etiology and characteristics of exceptional children. The goal is to make developmental theory vibrant and meaningful so as to better inform how one understands individual children and the pedagogical implications of individual differences.
