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.

This is the first lesson in the PIESM Development Concepts, Physical Development. In this lesson, there is vocabulary, notes, and two activity stations that require observations. At the end, there is a reflective peice that requires use of student observation and analysis using developmental concepts learned.
