This course is grounded in the notion that how children think, how their language develops, and how their families, their culture, and their environment influences and shapes them affect how they learn in school. Salient themes explored include the child as a maker of meaning, the nature of intelligence, attachment, gender identification, and the social context of development (i.e., race, culture, and class).
