What is depression and anxiety?

Physical development during middle childhood can have profound effects on both cognitive development, as well as social/emotional development.
What is Barb's take-away from Chapter 11?
REFLECTION DAILY DOUBLE:
While mainstreaming students with learning disorders may have its challenges, including finding a way to measure students by their own progress and not just as compared to others, it will ultimately benefit everyone in the classroom.
What is one of Barb's take-aways from Chapter 11?
REFLECTION DAILY DOUBLE
I hope my future classroom will help students learn to value the contributions and abilities of others, since, like Piaget, I believe that "learning to take into account the perspectives of others is a key ingredient in the development of both cognition and morality" (Rathus, p. 374).
What is one of Barb's take-aways from Chapter 12?
REFLECTION DAILY DOUBLE:
A goal for my future classroom is to not only create lesson plans and activities that address as many types of intelligence as possible, but also that celebrate these areas where lower-achieving students may succeed. This type of celebration will hopefully provide recognition about the types of "smart" to other students, and create an overall environment (and habit) of acceptance.
