**As I started to look for some sources, I noticed that there is going to be a plethora of information about child development. I also found quite a few articles about how multicultural conversations and global understanding are needed in the classroom. Finally, I found a lot of information for teachers on how to incorporate current events in the classroom, but not a lot of that information was research-based. As I look through these categories of research, my job will be to align them to see what is appropriate for each age and how to approach current events appropriately in the classroom. The last thing I noticed while doing this research is online forums. I noticed quite a few forums involving parents who discuss their opinions on teaching current events in school. While this is not a structured interview or data collection method, it is interesting to see the different opinions out there!

I believe that we construct our vision of reality, and that sometimes the world constructs reality and puts it forth to become ours. I think that the theory of child development has been socially constructed, it can be torn apart re-analyzed. I also think that education can help construct children's views of the world. This approach will help me to construct a new school of thought related to child development, what they can mentally handle, and how schools can make a positive change about people and cultures for the benefit of the future.]]> 2019-02-19 13:39:03 UTC https://padlet.com/latace87/1mddobexrc4t/wish/332664911 latace87 https://padlet.com/latace87/1mddobexrc4t/wish/332664912 1. How does child development differ from mental readiness?
2. How do lessons learned from parents/guardians affect children?  How does it compare and contrast to what they learn at school?
3. How could exposure to tragedy/war/violence affect young children as they grow older?
4. How do hidden curricula in classrooms affect how children see the world? What effect does teacher bias have on delivery of lessons?

I hope to understand at what age children are ready to talk about current events, and how to appropriately address these events in classrooms today taking developmental and mental readiness into account.]]> 2019-02-19 13:39:03 UTC https://padlet.com/latace87/1mddobexrc4t/wish/332664913
