I’m working on a Psychology exercise and need support.

Now that you have identified the stages of child and adolescent development for grade levels, you will now use this information to identify the major concepts, principles, and learning theories related to the stages of development. This information will help in determining effective teaching practices, based on learning theories and research of child and adolescent development.

Matrix

For this assignment, use the “Stages of Child and Adolescent Development” matrix created in Topic 2. Complete the fourth column by identifying the major concepts, principles, and learning theories from your readings to the stages of development.

Reflection

In 500-750 words, summarize and expand on the stages of child and adolescent development. In your summary, include:

• How understanding the unique aspects of development guide you to engage and meet the academic abilities of students with various learning abilities.
• How the stages of development differ from kindergarten to eighth grade and how learning activities differ depending on the stage of development.
• How you can incorporate specific major principles, concepts, and learning theories into two different grade levels (K-5 and 6-8) of your future teaching practice.
• How this matrix can serve as a guide in developing ways to meet the needs of exceptional students (learning differences, gifted students, and ELLs, etc.).
• How the information on the different stages of child and adolescent development can be utilized to identify student strengths as a basis for growth, and their misconceptions as opportunities for learning.

Support your findings with a minimum of 3-5 scholarly resources.
