Students will come to understand how a child and adolescent’s transition through developmental stages affects their learning. They will develop an understanding of the development of the learners’ cognitive, emotional, physical and social characteristics from infancy through adolescence will be explored. A review of common development delays and learning challenges will provide a framework for understanding how to support typical students. Case studies will be used to enhance practical application of theoretical understanding and will incorporate indigenous perspectives. Prerequisite: 12 credit hours in PSYC
