This course synthesizes aspects of developmental and educational psychology to prepare candidates to work with the wide range of individual student differences in skills, motivation, experience, and development that are encountered in public and private schools. Students become familiar with cognitive, physical, social/emotional, and moral development of children and adolescents. Students examine research that informs teachers to make connections between theory, empirical research, and educational practice with regard to learning. In addition, students observe in a K-12 classroom for 8 hours to further make these connections.
