Child Development and Education shows you how to apply child and adolescent development research and theory to your future classroom practices. It explores and demonstrates developmental phenomena, providing a thorough overview of growth, from infancy to late adolescence, within the domains of physical, socio-emotional and cognitive development. Observation guidelines, plus opportunities to practice analyzing what children say, do and create, can help you develop the skills needed to make informed decisions that meet every student’s needs.

The 8th Edition includes more than 975 new citations and provides cutting-edge perspectives on children’s growth, the scope of their experiences and research-proven teaching strategies.
