Presentations on Life Span Development
In this presentation from the 2012 APA/Clark University Workshop for High School Teachers, Debra Park of Rutgers University and West Deptford High School (West Deptford, NJ - retired) discusses the National Standards for High School Psychology Curricula standard area of life span development (3:45). She discusses the MIDUS study (13:00), end of life issues (20:30), and adulthood and aging, such as by addressing maximizing longevity (28:45). Park suggests that many concepts within this area of development are relevant to adolescents and worth devoting time to in the high school psychology curriculum. The Millennial Culture (1:02:49) is also discussed. Michael Sullivan of Hopkinton High School (Hopkinton, MA) discusses stage theories and provides some quick classroom activities to implement within the development unit (1:07:15).
