The purpose of this course is to provide students with a graduate-level introduction to theory, empirical research, and practical educational applications of child and adolescent development. Topics will include biological, cognitive, linguistic, social, affective, and personality development. The focus will almost exclusively be on typical development. As such, the course will not focus on therapeutic approaches, interventions, or clinical populations (except in rare and limited instances). Material will be covered through instructor and student presentations and seminar discussions.
