TCH 210 - Child Growth & Development
Course changes over semesters
Week of Oct. 13
Nancy Laythum, Jill Donnel, Kyle Miller, and Beth White were emails about splitting 210 into 2 courses, one focusing on cognitive development while the other focusing on social and emotional development. The importance of introducing a community piece was suggested not only to engage our students in service learning but also to give them an opportunity to have a powerful project for the Bone Scholarship.

The 210 tenured faculty were email the following:
"we can incorporate a community/family service piece in 210 to help our students see the relevance of the theoretical foundation in real life. I would love to talk with the two of you about this if you are interested. Also, augmenting the course with real-life case studies that get more complex week by week or that start with one domain (let's say physical) and then get more complex with cognitive, language, and social and emotional. Maybe making this of more a problem-solving approach would make it more engaging. It will be awesome if we can have our students form different sections meet for real debates as well. I simply think that we can make 210 more powerful, memorable, and engaging if we tweak it a little.
