This unit comprises a series of introductory lessons about child development theories.  It is intended to help students differentiate each theory and its theorist, not necessarily help students learn the particulars of each theory.  That will come later.  The notes are given in a very visual manner with the student writing directly on the image of the theorist they are studying.  Interactive reviews are provided to help students solidify their learning.  These theories will come up throughout a child or lifespan development class, so it is important that the information be learned and retained.Piaget, Erikson, and Kohlberg are all studied.  It is best if they are studied in this order as bell ringers and review materials are designed accordingly.All Lesson Materials can be found at the following link.  Erik Erikson Notes

This lesson introduces the concept of developmental domains.  They are separate concepts but work together to achieve individual growth and development.  This lesson is inquiry-based and will take between 40 and 50 minutes.

Overview:  This lesson includes a slide presentation to instruct about the 8 Multiple Intelligences (by Howard Gardner).  The students can take notes on the Doodle Notes handout.  Once the students are familiar with the multiple intelligences, you can help them apply the intelligences to preschool learning activities.  Students can work alone or in a group of two to plan 8 preschool activities that match the multiple intelligences.  The project also has the students plan the eight activities around a theme.  This helps students to think about multiple intelligences and developmentally appropriate activities for preschool age children.
