EDU-786 Adolescent Development and Urban Youth (1)

This course builds an understanding of adolescent development and applies that knowledge to practice as teachers of adolescent learners. It creates informed teachers prepared to respond to the abilities, behaviors, and needs of adolescent learners. To that end, residents explore adolescent development through an examination of their physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional development. In addition, as teachers of adolescents in urban communities, they also examine how issues related to race and gender identity inform and impact the development of nurturing and productive classroom environments that create inclusive learning spaces for all students. Grading: A-F only. Restriction: Teaching (MAT) [City Teaching Alliance].
