Students will research the issues and policies regarding child development in underdeveloped nations and present their findings including logical arguments for policy change.

This Advanced Child Development lesson presents the different styles of parenting children ages 4-8. The lesson provides the students to compare parenting styles and construct a scenario using these different styles in an effort to determine the positive or negative impact on the child.

This lesson is going to walk through the timeline of birth control.  You will need to print out the birth control note guide for them to fill out while the read the SoftChalk.

MIT researcher Deb Roy wanted to understand how his infant son learned language -- so he wired up his house with videocameras to catch every moment (with exceptions) of his son's life, then parsed 90,000 hours of home video to watch "gaaaa" slowly turn into "water." Astonishing, data-rich research with deep implications for how we learn. Deb Roy studies how children learn language, and designs machines that learn to communicate in human-like ways. On sabbatical from MIT Media Lab, he's working with the AI company Bluefin Labs. A quiz, thought provoking question, and links for further study are provided to create a lesson around the 20-minute video. Educators may use the platform to easily "Flip" or create their own lesson for use with their students of any age or level.

Students will use the Occupational Outlook Handbook to explore occupations related to child development and care. Students will create lapbooks to share their findings.

Welcome to Child Growth and Development. This text is a presentation of how and why children grow, develop, and learn. We will look at how we change physically over time from conception through adolescence. We examine cognitive change, or how our ability to think and remember changes over the first 20 years or so of life. And we will look at how our emotions, psychological state, and social relationships change throughout childhood and adolescence.

This course focuses on the core processes of growth and development in early to middle childhood. Considers developmental theories, issues and research findings related to physical growth and cognitive, emotional, and social development. Considers appropriate instruments to assess growth and development. Evaluates efficacy of popular early intervention programs designed to enhance development in at-risk populations of children.

This concentration level course is a study of the physical, perceptual, cognitive, personality, and language developmental stages of children from conception through adolescence, including the principle theories of development and their application. The need for an understanding of how children develop and what influences their development is an important component of contributing to the demands of our complex society. Students will develop an understanding of children and the developmental process through readings, case studies, observations, individual research projects and group project work. Active class participation is enhanced by limited community classroom placement under the guidance of a mentor teacher. All students are required to observe and/or participate in settings and classrooms at the preschool/primary/elementary or middle/junior high levels at the end of the Spring semester.

This is an review activity to help my students review the female reproduction system.

This Science NetLinks lesson is the first of a two-part series aimed at introducing students to the different stages of physical growth and development in human beings from birth to 18 years of age. Through the use of student interactives, this lesson helps students become better aware of all the natural physical stages of growth children experience in the first five years of life.

This guide offers fun activities for parents to use during everyday routines to help babies, toddlers, and preschoolers develop skills needed for success in school and life. The booklet also describes behaviors and changes parents can expect to see during these three developmental stages.

This lesson is meant to be used at the start of a Child Development or Early Childhood Services course, to get students exploring the importance of early childhood.

This 6-minute video provides an overview of The Science of Neglect: The Persistent Absence of Responsive Care Disrupts the Developing Brain, a Working Paper from the National Scientific Council on the Developing Child.

As a prerequisite to study this module you need to have some background knowledge to human growth and development and the different stages that a child goes through whilst growing up. These stages are infancy, early childhood, adolescence and early adulthood. The knowledge about these areas make it possible for you to understand the relevance and application of Guidance and Counseling to help learners overcome life challenges and associated problems that face them both inside and outside the school environment. You also need some background knowledge about the social, moral, and personality development and the general socialization processes that influence young people as they interact with their environment. This interaction between the individual and the environment can impact positively or negatively.

This is a SoftChalk that helps my students review the Male Reproduction System.

A different look at various "modern" parenting styles that we see within our society & the impact they have on children across the lifespan.

Children are inherently musical. They respond to music and learn through music. Music expresses children’s identity and heritage, teaches them to belong to a culture, and develops their cognitive well-being and inner self worth. As professional instructors, childcare workers, or students looking forward to a career working with children, we should continuously search for ways to tap into children’s natural reservoir of enthusiasm for singing, moving and experimenting with instruments. But how, you might ask? What music is appropriate for the children I’m working with? How can music help inspire a well-rounded child? How do I reach and teach children musically? Most importantly perhaps, how can I incorporate music into a curriculum that marginalizes the arts?

This book explores a holistic, artistic, and integrated approach to understanding the developmental connections between music and children. This book guides professionals to work through music, harnessing the processes that underlie music learning, and outlining developmentally appropriate methods to understand the role of music in children’s lives through play, games, creativity, and movement. Additionally, the book explores ways of applying music-making to benefit the whole child, i.e., socially, emotionally, physically, cognitively, and linguistically.

To provide children with a safe and nurturing learning environment and to maintain program effectiveness, teachers must incorporate observation, documentation and assessment into their daily routines. To truly be effective, teachers must develop skills and strategies that are grounded in best practices. This textbook covers topics such as observation methods and techniques, implicit bias, ethics of observation, quality, analyzing data, monitoring, screening and evaluation, meaningful curriculum, and using documentation and assessment to communicate with families.

Students research prenatal development milestones of each month of pregnancy and create a standing tower with group members.

After you have completed the See-Think-Wonder activity the students will be taking an online quiz that will tell them what birth control is right for them.  The What birth control is right for me?-Quiz  is an online app that will walk the students through questions and in the end it will give them what birth control is right for them.  After they have completed this they will then be taking What birth control is right for me?-Survey on Canvas.  They just put their result answer in the survey and then as a class we will be looking at the results.  The survey is anonymous.  We will redo this survey once we have learned about all forms of birth control to see if their results are the same of different.
