Knowing Growing Kids: Child Development in your 21st CCLC
June 16, 1-2:30 p.m. ET
To better serve our students, we need to understand their developmental needs. In this edition of LIVE With Y4Y! we’ll dive into child and adolescent development – a topic that aligns with our newly launched course on y4y.ed.gov. We’ll explore the theoretical foundations of child and adolescent development and how developmental theories directly apply to practice in out-of-school time. We’ll then use this information to identify instructional practices that support healthy child development and student learning.
