38-1125 Lifespan Development

Through theory and autobiography, students will look at themes, milestones, and development across the lifespan. Several theories will be explored with an emphasis on Eric Erikson. Social-emotional, cognitive, and physical development across the lifespan will be examined with a focus on young children: birth through age eight. Students will be asked to analyze not only their own experiences but to look at various influences including race, gender, culture, ability, and community on the stages of development.
