About this course
In this course, we explore adolescent development within the context of urban schools. Students will examine the key developmental processes ? biological, cognitive, social, and emotional ? while considering the influences of culture, peers, and family on adolescent behavior and learning. This includes how adolescents learn and how schools contribute to adolescents' growth through educational experiences that are developmentally appropriate, culturally responsive and sustaining. Students will discuss research and theories on adolescent issues, including identity formation, peer relationships, and family dynamics. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the diverse backgrounds of students and how cultural contexts shape their developmental experiences. To bridge theory and practice, students are required to complete 36 hours of fieldwork in a 7th-12th grade classroom. Completion of fieldwork hours is required to pass the course. This hands-on experience will allow students to observe and interact with adolescents, facilitating a deeper understanding of their developmental needs and the role educators play in supporting them. Reflection and critical analysis of fieldwork experiences will be integral to the course, enabling students to apply their learning to real-world classroom settings. Field Work: Students complete the required 36 hours of fieldwork for this course by individually participating in an instructor-approved middle or high school classroom. You should identify your own fieldwork placements; however, you must be able to interact with the students and interview one student toward the end of the semester. You are required to record and document evidence of your fieldwork attendance on your fieldwork timesheet.
