This timely and accessible volume explores how our understanding of
research in child development can help cultivate the knowledge,
skills, and attitudes children need for informed and thoughtful
participation in society by viewing the curriculum through a
developmental lens. Gordon Biddle and Garcia-Nevarez cover a range
of key topics including characteristics of physical, cognitive, and
psychosocial development of children; heritable and environmental
influences on children's developing self; language and literacy
development; mathematical cognition; growth mindsets; and
evidence-based positive behavioral interventions and supports. The
expert team of contributors offers an advanced exploration of
developmental science and how this applies to learning and
education in order to create inclusive environments that support
children with a range of abilities, including those with the most
significant medical, intellectual, and developmental delays. Each
chapter contains boxes exploring how the topic relates to the
themes of "Promoting Social and Emotional Competence Theory,"
"Research to Practice Connection," "Common Core and Other
Standards," and "Social Justice and Diversity," ensuring
comprehensive and consistent coverage across the volume.
Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum and Instruction will be
essential reading for students of child development and education,
as well as educators and those in teacher training who are
interested in how theory and research can be effectively harnessed
to improve children's outcomes.

Child and Adolescent Development is a rich and continuously
evolving field that offers a wealth of career opportunities.
Careers in Child and Adolescent Development is the first textbook
to guide students along each step of the career path-from the
levels of academic degrees and programs available, to preparations
for the professional world. It presents a brief description of the
field, explores a broad array of career paths available to
students, and offers some practical ideas for constructing a career
plan. Students are provided with practical, up-to-date information
about career opportunities, combined with real-life vignettes to
illustrate the challenges and rewards these careers hold. The book
presents traditional career paths in fields such as child and
adolescent development, elementary education, educational
leadership, and school counseling, as well as non-traditional or
emerging career paths in child life and behavior analysis,
research, academia, non-profit work, children's ministry, and
family law. It will serve as a go-to reference for students, and
can be used in a fieldwork class, a service learning class, a
professional development class, or a capstone class.
