Child Development

Child Development is a foundational course that explores from a Christian perspective how children grow and learn from early childhood through adulthood, emphasizing practical connections that contribute to effective teaching. The course integrates major theories of development and learning while examining their direct implications for classroom practice. It also considers the role of spiritual, biological, relational, and cultural influences on the learner at each stage of development. Using this framework, students will apply their insights to inform their teaching and create classroom environments where learners of all ages can thrive.
