Order 625985: human development

Guidelines

· Teacher & teaching assistants in Youth Centers – What are some of their duties/responsibilities during their hours with the children? How would you characterize their interactions with the children? How might their actions and words be affecting the children’s development?

Relate your answers to broad theories of development (e.g., Bandura, Bronfenbrenner) and/or material specific to early childhood development. In your conclusion, include questions/comments about development or developmental research prompted by this topic.

Be sure to reference all information sources, which may include your course text, notes, or other readings; there is no need to consult outside sources. Include a reference list at the end of your paper AND in-text citations (author, date) for any material that you looked up. For lecture notes, include the instructor’s last name (Klauda) and the lecture date (Fall 2017) for the in-text citation; include the lecture topic in the reference list.

Try to avoid quoting material directly from your text (rather, describe theories and concepts in your own words) –- but if you do quote, give the page number with your in-text citation.

( Format : Your paper should be typed in 12 point Times New Roman font, with 1 inch margins all around and double-spacing. Your reference list and in-text citations should be formatted according to the APA style manual or a style manual that is widely used in your field. Reports must be submitted in MICROSOFT WORD format with a .doc or.docx file extension. If you submit it as a pdf or in any other file format, it will be subject to the late assignment penalty until you correct it.
