What the doozy is Erikson's development model doohicky?
Erikson's model of social development is studied to understand the social developmental changes in people from infancy to retirement years. People have different choices they need to make at each age, so that they can develop into efficient human beings. This model of social development outlines the changes that people need to make at different stages of their life?
What does this have to do with a secondary education classroom?
The students i'll be dealing with are in the identity versus role confusion bracket. Students are going to act differently to find their identity. This has positive and negative consequences. Some students will try to find their identity by being really obnoxious while they experiment with gaining attention from those around them. Other students may get depressed because they don't have a group of friends to fit in with. Students who adjust to this stage are usually more driven and have made some goals to work towards to.
What am I going to do with this lovely knowledge?
-I'll be patient with different stages that students are going through. No one progresses the same, so I'll need to pay attention to personal circumstances of my students. I can also be a model by treating them with respect, and maybe they'll get the idea not to stick tacs on peoples' chairs and stuff. I can also give them views into different careers they're thinking about working towards.
