This course is a pilot for a new doctoral program in ETL that we hope to begin in 1996. We hope to make extensive use of faculty from other institutions around the world, both in terms of guest lectures as well as providing entire courses. It discusses issues related to parenting and child development, and provides information that helps parents become informed about their children's education. Short articles that discuss child development from birth to adolescence, parenting, health, childhood behaviors, and education. Longer articles on the same topic can also be accessed by means of the Eric Digest on the Home Page Main Screen.
Information is provided on community and school programs.
Materials related to various aspects of child development, child rearing, and childhood education can be purchased. NPIN provides an excellent source of information for parents, teachers, and guidance counselors. Counselors could use all of these articles in discussion groups held as part of parenting courses. Some of the features of NPIN are not fully accessible yet, but this site already has the potential to be a very valuable resource for anyone living with, or working with children. Our ClassroomWeb is a great place to show off your students and your entire school on the global Internet.
