CHLD 4: Child Growth and Development: Home

This guide has been created to assist students enrolled in CHLD4, Child Growth, and Development. The place to start is your course syllabus! This can always be found in the Canvas shell for your class. If you have any questions you can always ask your instructor. 

If your section uses an OER textbook, there will either be a link to click on or a PDF will be provided to you. Otherwise, the library has many of the textbooks for 2-hour in-library checkout. You can purchase copies at the Viking Bookstore. Some textbooks are available for rent or in e-book form. 

Below are the Student Learning Outcomes for your course:

Upon successful completion of the course students will be able to:

• Explain children’s development from conception through adolescence in the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive domains.
• Identify cultural, economic, political, and historical contexts that impact children’s development.
• Apply knowledge of development and major theoretical frameworks to child observations.

The library has print books and electronic resources for you to use in any research assignments and to help you understand course material.
