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.

Educational Resources to Teach Your Students about Christmas
The Christmas season is a wonderful time to expose your young students to traditions in other cultures. While it is a religious holiday, it also embodies many cultural customs. This is a wonderful opportunity to expose your students to how other people celebrate. And of course putting a picture Santa or presents on any worksheet or activity helps children get excited and engaged. That's where a handy list of printables and clip art can become extremely useful.
Our list of resources also includes songs, a variety of lesson plans, worksheets and a complete list of teacher resources. This year, help your children embrace the true meaning of Christmas. Teach them about tradition, expose them to a variety of cultures, and use the holiday to make all your lessons fun.

Socratic seminars are a democratic, student-centered, approach to class discussions. They can be used at any grade level with any subject area. In a Socratic Seminar, members meet in a circle and share their insights. Participants do not raise their hands or call on names. Because there’s no discussion leader, each member can comment or ask follow-up questions to one another. This approach can be empowering for participants because they own the conversation. Unlike a typical class discussion, the conversation moves fluidly back and forth rather than having to go through the teacher.
This article outlines several approaches to conducting a Socratic Seminar: - The Giant Circle Approach - The “Fish Bowl” Approach - The Round Table Approach - The Scattered Approach - Multiple Seminars - Online/Offline Seminars
The author also provides a sample of how to run a Socratic Seminar and tips for ensuring that all students can participate.
