EDUC 2310 Child Development

The course on child development emphasizes the importance of understanding child growth from birth through primary grades. It focuses on development through the analysis and application of key theories across various domains, including physical, cognitive, socio-emotional, literacy, health, and early interventions. Teacher candidates will create developmental charts to illustrate milestones and evaluate real-world classroom practices that address the unique needs of students from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Additionally, the course explores theories and evidence-based strategies to provide a clear, structured framework for understanding the different aspects of growth and development during this critical early stage of life.
