This instructor guide is designed for use by postsecondary child development instructors in courses that have both lecture and laboratory sections. The guide is organized into five units covering the following subject matter: foundations and assumptions about child caregiving, development of young children, indirect guidance of children's activities through manipulation of the physical environment, direct guidance of children's behavior, and strategies for promoting desirable behavior in children and coping with undesirable behavior. At the beginning of each unit, performance objectives and references are listed. Suggested classroom learning experiences provide instructors with teaching strategies to help students achieve the objectives. The unit test includes multiple-choice and essay questions. Transparency and handout masters, which follow the last unit, may be reproduced as needed for classroom use. The instructor guide also contains a glossary, glossary test, answer keys, and annotated bibliography. (KC)
