Children: 2024 Release ISE

Thousands of students across four decades have shaped the chronologically-organized content in Children. They have reported that when instructors highlight the connections among the different aspects of children’s development, they can more readily understand the concepts, theories, and research. As a result, Children has focused on providing a systematic, integrative approach that helps students make these connections in their learning and practice. This release continues that philosophy by:1. Connecting with today’s students to help them learn about children’s development more effectively; 2. Connecting with research to provide students with the most recent scholarship; 3. Connecting development processes to guide students in comparing processes across ages and stages; 4. Connecting development to real life to help students understand ways to apply content to improve children’s lives, and to motivate them to think deeply about their own personal journey through life.
