Description
Expanded from its previous edition to include ages 13 and 14, this book provides teachers and parents with a quick reference on important childhood developmental issues, explaining what children should be learning and doing in the classroom at each developmental stage. The book begins by discussing how developmental issues can affect administrative and classroom decisions in the areas of mixed age grouping, ability grouping, retention, food, exercise, the structure of the school day, and racial and cultural questions. Each of the 11 chapters, one for each year, includes a narrative description and charts outlining growth patterns, classroom implications, and appropriate curriculum. The charts allow readers to identify developmental "yardsticks" for a given age. These charts outline characteristic growth patterns (physical, social, language, and cognitive) as well as what to expect in the classroom regarding vision and fine motor ability, gross motor ability, cognitive growth, and social behavior. The curriculum charts summarize the developmental continuum between ages 4 and 14, covering reading, writing, mathematics, and thematic units in social science, science, and current events. The book concludes with a list of over 100 favorite books for different ages, and resources for parents and teachers. (HTH)
