Assignment: Psychology In The Classroom
Psychology is the study of the mind and behavior. Surprisingly, many people do not understand why studying psychology is important to an early childhood educator. By studying psychology, early childhood educators have a better understanding of how children develop and learn.
For this assignment, take on the role of an early childhood teacher. Your principal/director just asked you to create a 500-750 word brochure explaining to future teachers:
• The connections between psychology and learning.
• The role psychology plays in understanding children's development (age birth to 8 years old).
• Why teachers need to understand psychological theories and research.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
