Child And Adolescent Development In Your Classroom (What's New In Education)

This is the most current text on child and adolescent development for teachers available on the market. Covering early childhood through high school in an easy-to-follow format, the book provides teachers with authentic, research-based strategies and guidelines for their classrooms. A strong emphasis on diversity among children is reflected throughout. The authors specifically apply child development concepts to topics of high interest and relevance to teachers, including social-emotional development, classroom discipline, humor, constructivism, and many others. Case studies and real-world vignettes further bridge the distance between research and the classroom, helping students be better prepared to create an environment that promotes optimal development in children.

Required reading for my Human Development and Learning class in graduate school. It is very interesting and organized well. I do not agree with all of the arguments and statements made within, however, the majority of the book is quality.

I used this book for a summer class. The concepts are easy to understand. The chapter a little long for me (30-40 pages). I had to read multiple chapters a week and I found some of the chapters interesting.

A great textbook, very informative! I may not have passed the class due to health problems, but it's a great reference book and covers a lot of good info. One draw back is that all my education text books seem to feel the need to include the 'shame on you' racial statistics on every other page (which my teacher thankfully skipped since it was full of political bs instead of relevant info).

This is a very good textbook for teachers in the classroom, or really anyone involved with teaching and raising adolescents. The formatting of the chapters makes it easy to follow and helps you assimilate the information in a usable manner.

Great book for helping one to understand the stage of child development. I keep this book as a recourse tool for future use.

but the item was not new. There was no highlighting or writing but the pages and covers had line indentations and folds.

Some writing in the book but I don't mind it but over all the book is in great condition! I use it all the time

Great book! It has a lot of material that would interest the reader. I would recommended this book to others.
