Child and Adolescent Development for Educators Australian & New Zealand Edition

Child and Adolescent Development for Educators covers development from early childhood through high school. This text provides authentic, research-based strategies and guidelines for the classroom, helping future teachers to create an environment that promotes optimal development in children.

The authors apply child development concepts to topics of high interest and relevance to teachers, including classroom behaviour management, constructivism, social-emotional development, and many others, across the full age range. The reader-friendly text combines core theory with practical implications for educational contexts and shows how child development links to the Australian Professional Standards for Graduate Teachers (APST) & Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) goals.
