Welcome to Psych 30 (Developmental Psychology) at ECHS with Mr. Spahich. This blog will be updated as I add more information.
The main aspects of the course are broken down the following way:
Introduction to Developmental Psychology
Prenatal Development
Infancy
Early & Middle Childhood Development
Adolescence Development
Adulthood
Each of these areas looks largely at how human beings develop with regards to their physical (biological), mental (cognitive), emotional, and spiritual elements. These teachings relate to the medicine wheel. If you have an Elder you can speak with to learn more about their understandings of the teachings I strongly encourage you to do so, for you and for them.
There are assignments and unit tests to help me gauge your comprehension of course concepts. These assignments serve as a way of helping you learn more about developmental psychology. Your overall grade will be determined through the assignments and tests, and will be assessed as you submit them.
