EGC 533 Child and Adolescent Growth and Development
This course is designed for candidates in school counselling as an in-depth exploration of individual differences in normal child growth and development. How children learn differently and the characteristics of exceptional children will be explored through research readings, self reflection and discussions. The theory covered in this course provides a platform for observation and case study work carried out in the
ECC 602 Counselling Practicum that occurs with this course in the program schedule. The course identifies and compares the major theories of child and adolescent growth and development and aids in understanding how to apply them to the classroom. Effects of various ethnic, socioeconomic, cultural, and age considerations on development will be integrated into this course.
