Welcome to Adolescent Learning & Development! Here's a link to the CUNY Portal where you can access our Blackboard Site http://portal.cuny.edu/portal/ Make sure you align the assignments specified on your syllabus with the resources on this site. What do you already know about Adolescent Learning and Development? Take the pretest on the Teaching page. My name is Professor Hope J. Hartman; I'm an educational/cognitive psychologist and teach at CCNY and the CUNY Graduate Center. My specializations are in thinking, learning, teaching and instructional technology. Email me at hhartman@ccny.cuny.edu My regular web site is http://condor.admin.ccny.cuny.edu/~hhartman  This resource site was created for my CCNY graduate and undergraduate students taking Adolescent Learning and Development. Most of these students are inservice or preservice teachers. My students need to make sure you carefully look at the text and links in the body of each page of this website, and at all of the attached documents at the bottom of each page. Some are required and some are optional. These resources need to be coordinated with your syllabus. Please bring required readings to class with you on their due dates because class activities might be based on them. This site has attached documents at the bottom of most pages and links to web sites, including You Tube clips. These resources are either assigned or optional materials intended to help people who are or will be teaching adolescents. Some topics overlap, so some of the resources here could have been put on other pages. For example, the materials on Parenting and Teaching Styles are on the Cognition and Affect page but could have been put on the Teaching page.The textbook we're using is Brain-Based Teaching with Adolescent Learning in Mind, by Glenda Beamon Crawford, (2007). 2nd Edition,Thousand Oaks, CA: Corwin Press. PLEASE bring this book with you to class on days when reading assignments from it are due.  This graphic organizer, created with Inspiration, shows the 12 countries (so far) where my students during Spring 2012 are from. CONSIDER JOINING CCNY'S SOCIAL NETWORK "INYOURCLASS".
