Instructor’s resources included with this text:
An array of high-quality instructor materials accompanies Infants, Children, and Adolescents:
- Instructor's Resource Manual (IRM). The IRM can be used by first-time or experienced instructors to enrich classroom experiences. Each chapter includes a brief chapter summary; a chapter outline; lecture enhancements that present cutting-edge topics along with suggestions for using the content in class; and learning activities that provide "live" examples of research findings, discussion topics, and written assignments. Also included are model answers to the text’s Ask Yourself questions and listings of available videos on relevant topics.
- Test Bank. The Test Bank contains over 2,000 multiple-choice and essay questions, each of which is page-referenced to chapter content and also classified by type and difficulty level.
- PowerPoint™ Presentation. The PowerPoint presentation provides outlines and illustrations of key topics for each chapter of the text.
This is an excellent resource that I will add to the recommended reading section of the course syllabus. However, I find it provides more detail than my students can typically use and digest, so I can't consider it as a primary text.
Excellent structured breakdown of child and adolescent development appropriate for an undergraduate population. I especially like the consistent and methodical nature in which the topic was covered. It is helpful to have a system that students can easily follow.
Offers a comprehensive overview of development for infants, children and adolescents. While there has been a change in the images presented and more representation of our global diversity there is however a need to more intentionality include people of color in being active thinkers and developers of development theories. The theorists and researchers presented in the text continue to be monolithic in terms of race, gender and ability. Additionality I have questions around some of the ableist language used in sections describing disabilities.
It has been the book the college decided to use before I was employed.
School use the textbook before I was employed.
