/in /by

The purpose of this assignment is to explore approaches to instruction that support adolescents’ physical, cognitive, or socioemotional growth and to understand the unique challenges adolescents face with regards to classroom learning.

Respond to each of the following scenarios with a 500-750 word rationale. Your response to each scenario should include the following:

  • Assessment of developmental characteristics of adolescent behaviors.
  • Explanation of specific challenges the student is facing, based on developmental characteristics and behaviors.
  • Approaches to instruction that promotes the physical, cognitive, or socioemotional development of each student.
  • Opportunities to facilitate learning with the use of technology.

Scenario #1

Marco is a senior in one of your classes. He has appeared to be depressed, showing signs of sadness, self-criticism, and hopelessness. As a result, his grades have dropped.
