Introduction to Child Development

Life Skill: Social and Civic Responsibility

Time Frame: 90 minutes

Summary:The study of children should be an important part of every person's life. We cannot communicate with children if we do not understand them. Our lives have been greatly influenced by our childhood and our experiences.

Objective: Recognize the characteristics and responsibilities of parenting.

Student Prior Knowledge:Childhood experience!

Instructional Procedures:The teacher could introduce herself/himself by unpacking a suitcase full of items that in some way represent his/her life. It should be a fun introduction that tries to help each class member identify with the teacher in some way. Bringing in your own baby pictures and telling about some of your childhood experiences may also help students relate to you.

Assessment Plan:Observation of the students during the introduction of themselves and their participation in the discussions and learning activities. You may have the students turn in one of the Activity sheets you hand out to them.
