Description
This course provides an exploration of the nature of middle childhood/early adolescence by drawing from a variety of theoretical models of growth and development. Areas of development that will be considered include physical and motor, cognitive, emotional and social, and language, with an emphasis on diversity (including exceptionality) and the range of developmental levels within one classroom. Fellows will develop an understanding of the relationship among models of classroom management, including approaches to conflict resolution, and the teaching-learning process.
